No compromise.
For more than 90 years, perfect materials and workmanship
have been top priority at Olympia Express. Each and every tiny
detail is constantly rethought and, if necessary, optimized. This
is why Olympia Express was the first manufacturer to be using
chrome steel water tanks, which meet the strict hygienic and
technical demands of our engineers.
The same holds true for the design: “Form follows function”.
This basic design principle makes Olympia Express products a
perfect example of Swiss design.
The concept of sustainability is an increasingly important issue
in our society. This has been the guiding principle for Olympia
Express for decades. Our machines are durable and repairable,
with 50-year old machines still working perfectly and being
“vintage” machines, they are much sought after among enthu-
siasts.
Of course, more machines could be produced but that would
mean compromising on the attention paid to quality and pre-
cision. However, drinking espresso is to some extent a cultural
achievement. Olympia Express has been upholding this culture
for generations. The passion for Italian espresso merges with
the great tradition of Swiss craftsmanship, resulting in a pro-
duct, which continues to delight its owner over and over again.

At the beginning of espresso making, when compact water
pumps were still a long way off, the quality of the espresso
was solely in the wrist of the barista. In the 1950s, or the first
time the newly developed brew group with compression spring
made the work of the barista easier.
Such machines were now an integral part of the classic café
bar. The constant pressure on the coffee powder results in a
constant extraction, unlike comparable devices with a pump.
For this reason, more lever machines can be found in the café
bars today.
The Cremina SL (S for spring and L for lever) was developed
exactly according to these criteria. According to the wishes and
needs of our customers: compact design, perfect workmanship
and ease to use.

The lever machine
with the little extra.
The Cremina SL combines the tranquility of a hand lever ma-
chine with the simplicity of a semi-automatic machine.
So, if you have a soft spot for purely mechanical extraction and
do not want to leave constant quality to chance, the Cremina
SL is the right choice. Despite the historical model, it is in no
way out of date.
The completely redesigned brewing group paired with the solid
base of the Cremina give it a unique appearance. Never before
a brew group with compression spring has been used on such a
compact machine.
With each extraction you can experience how the lever moves
constantly and slowly upwards, magically, while a perfect
espresso flows into your cup below.
Over 90 years of experience in the production of first-class
espresso machines are reflected in the processing and put your
daily coffee in the spot light.

Take a look at the inside: what you will encounter is nothing
but stainless steel, chrome, brass and perfect manufacturing.
The brew group, consisting of group head and portafilter are
made of brass—and are of course chromed and polished to a
high gloss. The steam wand and the steam nozzle are made
of chrome steel which increases the longevity of the machi-
ne and facilitates the cleaning. The electric boiler, made of
chrome steel is filled by opening the top and has a capacity of
1.8 litres—enough for 20 cups of classic espresso. The high-
performance tubular heating element has a thermal protection
against overheating of the boiler. In order to guarantee a per-
fect result and longevity, the gaskets used in the Cremina are
made of high-tech material. The default pressure is adjusted to
between 1.1 and 1.2 bars and the brewing temperature to 92 °C.
A compression spring in the brewing head of the Cremina SL
ensures constant brewing pressure.
However, not only the inside of the Cremina SL is convincing.
Espresso machine purists are also thrilled with its outer appea-
rance: the massive chassis, the sturdy casing and the fittings
are of finest quality. The front with its illuminated operation
display, as well as the grate and drip tray are made of high-gloss
polished stainless steel.
Frame and casing are elaborately lacquered with especially
resistant powder coating.
Built for a small eternity.
