It's heavy, mechanical, precisely fitted. You slowly pull it upwards – the pre-infusion piston system lets water flow into the chamber, soaking the puck. Five seconds, seven seconds. Then you push the lever down. The force you need is noticeable – you have to stabilize the machine with your other hand or grasp the portafilter handle. From the 49mm portafilter, the first drop emerges – dark, thick, with a crema that builds up like only with lever extractions. That's Cremina, that's Olympia Express. A machine whose basic concept has remained identical for over five decades because it doesn't need to change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOlympia Express has been building espresso machines in Switzerland for almost a century. \u003cstrong\u003eFounded in 1928 in Chiasso (Ticino) by Luigi Bresaola.\u003c\/strong\u003e Even then, the focus was on designing machines to last for decades rather than thinking in terms of product cycles. \u003cstrong\u003eIn 2010, Olympia Express was acquired by Schatti AG, led by Thomas Schatti. In 2011, production was moved to its current location: Sernftalstrasse 34b in Schwanden, Canton Glarus.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each machine is handmade there – component by component, assembled by skilled craftsmen. Despite \"Express\" in the name, Olympia Express is closer to a slow-coffee philosophy than to industrial café technology. The Cremina has been in the product line for over five decades and its basic concept has remained identical. The Maximatic is its dual-circuit sister from 1974. The Mina, the youngest addition to the family, is the manual portable espresso maker. Coffee Coaching Club carries the current Olympia Express range in Switzerland – showrooms in Bern and Zurich, delivery in a few days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes Olympia Express special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree things. \u003cstrong\u003eFirst:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swiss craftsmanship in its purest form. Each machine is handmade in Schwanden, Canton Glarus. Solid mechanics made of chrome and stainless steel, components designed to last for decades. Cremina machines from the 1970s are still running today, with occasional seal replacements. This is not marketing; this is the norm. \u003cstrong\u003eSecond:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow-coffee philosophy. The Cremina is a conscious decision against convenience and for ritual – lifting the lever, pressing, feeling how the puck reacts. If the pre-infusion timing isn't right, the shot tastes different. This is the feedback that forces learning. \u003cstrong\u003eThird:\u003c\/strong\u003e Design continuity. The Cremina looks today as it did fifty years ago. This is confidence in a solution that works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic Olympia models (Cremina, Cremina SL) use the \u003cstrong\u003e49 mm portafilter\u003c\/strong\u003e – a historical Italian format from the 1960s, which allows for a deeper coffee puck with the same dose and thus produces a different body in the cup than the 58 mm standard format. The Maximatic also uses the typical Olympia 49 mm format. The Mina works with a 49.5 mm filter basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComparison table: all 4 active models at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;margin:1em 0 2em 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:0.92em;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f7ff;text-align:left;\"\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"padding:0.6em 0.8em;border-bottom:2px solid #0629db;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"padding:0.6em 0.8em;border-bottom:2px solid #0629db;\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"padding:0.6em 0.8em;border-bottom:2px solid #0629db;\"\u003eBrewing System\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"padding:0.6em 0.8em;border-bottom:2px solid #0629db;\"\u003eBoiler\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"padding:0.6em 0.8em;border-bottom:2px solid #0629db;\"\u003ePortafilter\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"padding:0.6em 0.8em;border-bottom:2px solid #0629db;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"padding:0.6em 0.8em;border-bottom:2px solid #0629db;\"\u003efrom CHF\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eMina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eManual Espresso Maker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eManual Lever\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eNone (external hot water)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e49.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003ePortable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e969.95\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eCremina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eLever Machine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eManual lever with pre-infusion piston\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e1.8 L stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e49 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e11 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e3'679.95\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eCremina SL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eSpring Lever Machine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eSpring Lever (compression spring)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e1.8 L stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e49 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e13 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e3'829.95\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eMaximatic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eDual-circuit semi-automatic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003eOlympia Dual-circuit brew group + vibration pump\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e0.75 L heating boiler + 1.5 L fresh water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e49 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e18.2 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:0.5em 0.8em;\"\u003e3'989.95\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85em;color:#666;margin-top:-1em;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll values according to official Olympia Express specifications.

For portable lever extraction on the go without electricity: Mina (CHF 969.95).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between the Cremina and the Cremina SL?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic Cremina is a pure lever machine: you push the lever down with full body strength, and the pressure profile is created by your movement (factory boiler pressure 0.7–0.8 bar). The Cremina SL has a compression spring in the brew group – the spring takes over the pressure build-up, and the lever moves down controlled by itself (factory boiler pressure 1.1–1.2 bar). This results in a more reproducible pressure curve and makes operation less physical. Cremina for pure manual control, Cremina SL for lever character with spring consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat brew group does the Olympia Maximatic have?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximatic uses a \u003cstrong\u003eproprietary Olympia dual-circuit brew group\u003c\/strong\u003e – not an E61, not a saturated brew group in the classic sense. The architecture follows the dual-circuit principle: fresh water from the tank is brought to brewing temperature (92 °C) via a heat exchanger in the heating boiler, while steam for milk drinks is simultaneously generated in the heating boiler. This allows for simultaneous brewing and steaming without waiting. Olympia's own Swiss design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy does the Cremina have a 49 mm portafilter instead of 58 mm?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 49 mm portafilter is a historic Italian format from the 1960s. Physically, it means: with the same dose, the coffee puck sits deeper in the basket, and the water has a longer contact path through the ground coffee. This favors the extraction of body and texture – characteristic of classic Italian lever espressos. The 49 mm standard is significantly rarer today than 58 mm, but it has its own distinct flavor profile. Olympia Express has adhered to this format for decades. The Mina uses the related 49.5 mm format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the Olympia Express Mina?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mina is the portable lever solution in the Olympia portfolio and the brand's newest addition. Completely manual, without electricity, light and compact enough for travel, camping, the chalet, or the garden. You only need hot water from an external source (thermos, kettle, gas burner). Aluminum, stainless steel, and brass casing. Bottomless portafilter, mini tamper, drip tray, and sustainable carrying case included. The same Swiss craftsmanship as the Cremina and Maximatic, in a format you can take with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does an Olympia Express machine last?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCremina machines from the 1970s and 1980s are still in use today – with occasional seal or heating element changes. This is the manufacturing philosophy: Olympia Express builds for decades, not for product cycles. Spare parts are still available for older models. A Cremina is one of the few consumer goods that can literally be passed down through generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the Olympia Cremina have an E61 group head?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Cremina is a pure manual lever machine with a pre-infusion piston system – not an E61 group head (E61 is a thermosiphon group head developed by Faema in 1961 for pump machines). The Cremina operates without a pump and without a thermosiphon. The Cremina SL uses a spring-lever group head (with a compression spring), and the Maximatic uses a proprietary Olympia dual-boiler group head. None of these designs are E61.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I see Olympia Express before purchasing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Olympia models are available in the showrooms in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/bern-filiale\"\u003eBern\u003c\/a\u003e (Gerberngasse 44) and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/zurich-oerlikon\"\u003eZurich Oerlikon\u003c\/a\u003e (Hagenholzstrasse 50b). The weight of the Cremina lever, the click when lifting, the feeling as the SL's spring builds pressure – these cannot be conveyed through photos. Not all variants are on-site at the same time, a quick inquiry is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow are Olympia Express machines delivered in Switzerland?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard shipping throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein in 2 to 4 working days. Click and Collect in Bern and Zurich. For Cremina, Cremina SL, and Maximatic, an on-site setup with assembly and introduction to manual lever or dual-boiler operation can be booked for an additional charge upon request – a quick inquiry is sufficient. Financing via Heylight is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich grinder is suitable for an Olympia Cremina?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCremina setups require precise grinders because manual lever extraction is sensitive to uneven grind size. Classic Mignon grinders like Eureka Atom or Specialita are typical companions. For single-dose precision: Varia VS3 or VS4. For premium: Weber Workshops KEY or Option-O Lagom P64. It is important that the grinder can be precisely adjusted down to the fine espresso range. Many customers combine Cremina with Eureka or Varia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccc-roastery-tip\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRoastery Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlympia Express machines – especially the Cremina – are not demo devices in the classic sense in the showroom, but rather experience stations.

For beans, we stick with the Cozy Chocolate for everyday use – the combination of medium roast, caramel, and chocolate harmonizes particularly well with the Cremina's flavor profile.

The lever moves steadily and slowly upwards as if by magic. A compression spring in the brew group takes over what your shoulder does with the classic Cremina: building up consistent brewing pressure throughout the entire extraction. You watch the manometer, you observe how a perfect espresso flows from the bottomless portafilter into your cup. Again and again, with the same precision, without the daily condition of your hand determining the result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cremina SL combines the tranquility of a manual lever machine with the simplicity of a semi-automatic. It is the lever machine with a significant plus – for everyone who has a soft spot for purely mechanical extraction and doesn't want to leave consistent quality to chance. Built in Schwanden, in the canton of Glarus, by Olympia Express.

A compression spring in the brew head ensures consistent brewing pressure throughout the entire extraction. You lift the lever, tension the spring, and then the mechanics take over. Water flows through the espresso powder at a constant pressure, regardless of how you're feeling today. This consistency is the fundamental difference to the classic Cremina – and the reason why the SL is the answer for many to the question: How do I get lever character with semi-automatic reproducibility?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigher boiler pressure, more reserves\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe electrically heated, top-fill stainless steel boiler has a capacity of 1.8 liters and is sufficient for approximately 20 cups of classic espresso.

The Maximatic hums softly while heating up, the illuminated Olympia logo glows warmly, and with the push of a button, espresso flows from the extra-long spout – at precisely the temperature that truly unlocks a bean's aroma: 92 °C at the brew head, supplied by a heat exchanger that heats fresh water to over 100 °C and then dispenses it precisely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1974, Olympia Express has been building the Maximatic in its own factory in Schwanden, Canton Glarus. Every single component is designed and manufactured in-house – from the vibration-damped vibratory pump to the chrome steel boiler.

The same boiler produces steam for frothing milk. This design allows for parallel espresso and milk foam – with a single heating element and a single boiler.
