  2. Sold
    I'm selling my 1983 Olympia Maxi-Matic coffee machine £700 Great condition, I replaced the heating element and all seals a couple of years ago, it works great and produces seriously good coffee! 220v See here for some videos of it working... The ON switch light doesn't work but I have...
  3. Sold
    For sale is a 2003 Olympia Cremina. It has had three owners from new: Reiss Gunson when he was distributor for Olympia in the UK (pre-Londinium), me, wintoid of this forum, and then me again. It has been a working machine so is not cosmetically perfect e.g. the Cremina lettering on the...

    I seem to have stopped drinking espresso. My one espresso machine is a new-style Cremina dating from 2002/2003 ish, and it has a few issues that need sorting as follows: Sometimes water drips from the group as it comes up to temperature (stops when it reaches temperature) Sometimes as it...

    My Cremina dates from 2002 or 2003, so it's basically the new design, but the yoke is slightly different. I believe the newest version has pins that go through the yoke/group and yoke/piston and are fastened with circlips. Mine has pins that go through the yoke/group, and yoke/piston too, but...

    I bought a Cremina 2002 from this forum a couple of years ago, and have been enjoying it very much since then. I use it for one espresso daily, sometimes a bit more. In 2 years, I've had to replace some wiring (which was dodgy when I bought it), and the power switch (because the light stopped...

    As I'm moving over to the L1 in the next few weeks I need to a) generate monies b) pass on the Cremina to a loving fan Here's some photos: Condition is mint, but it is indeed a bit grubby as I haven't cleaned it yet after pushing the L1 onto the counter (will make sure it's all nice and...
  9. Lever Forum 💪
    Hi guys, ive had my little 1968 Cremina for a few weeks now and have fallen in love with it. Really do get great shots from it and it's funny that you hear so much about a long learning curve with it but I find I pretty much never get sink shots now which is more than I can say for my skills...

    For anyone with a Cremina, if you don't know it already, here's an interesting thread: http://www.home-barista.com/levers/olympia-cremina-temperature-study-part-1-t19388.html [there's 4 parts I think] So the question is, what grouphead temps do you normally aim for? T.
  11. Lever Forum 💪
    I've wanted this since I got a Cremina. The boys at HG One created an adapter for the Cremina to take Marzocco-size steam tips, so I ordered one. I was unable to find a UK supplier of the Sproline Foam Knife, and the shipping on the Espresso Parts website was almost as much as the overpriced...
  12. Lever Forum 💪
    Hi, what tamper do you use? I have been rejuvenating a Cremina 67 from eBay, and have got to the stage of considering a tamper. The basket is about 49.5mm at the rim for an Olympia Cremina, I think. Where does everyone shop for tampers!?
  13. Lever Forum 💪
    Hi, So I reckon I could probably figure out the wiring, but some help would be nice. I am stuck completely by the earth cable, it looks like it is supposed to attach onto the clamp that holds down the switch, but I can't see how? Thanks

    Hi, I am replacing my grouphead to boiler seal on my Cremina67. What should I use? Silicone o ring? Teflon gasket 3mm thick? 1.5mm thick? Any help? Thanks
  15. Lever Forum 💪
    I still haven't brewed anything on the Cremina, but I have fired her up and tried steaming. First impression is that I don't like the four hole tip, it's soldered in place so I thought I'd change the whole steam wand rather then chopping things off. I'm planning to fit a Silvia steam wand just...

    OK I've spent a long time working on this, and I haven't got it completely solved, so it's time to ask for help. I'm pretty sure I must be doing something wrong, so I've tried to describe my technique as well as I can. I'm using a Cremina 2003 (49mm baskets) and a Rosco Mini hand grinder. On...
  17. Lever Forum 💪
    I've had a Cremina in the house for a little while now, off and on, and it's been a journey for sure. I've reached the stage where I am really starting to enjoy this thing, despite quite a bumpy road. I've still got a number of problems, but the coffee being produced is now superb, and it...
  18. Lever Forum 💪
    Hi, I'm in the process of researching the lever type machines with a view to making a purchase in the near future. At the moment I am leaning toward the La Pavoni Europicola/Professional but would like a little advice. Does anyone have experience of the Savinelli Baby Bologna as it would...
