Olympia Express Drip Tray Cremina & Maximatic – Manufactured before 2017
The original drip tray from Schwanden GL – chrome steel, taste-neutral, manufactured for Cremina and Maximatic with a production year before 2017. For all models manufactured from 2017 onwards, Olympia offers drip tray 17. Please check the production year of your machine before ordering – if in doubt, write to us, and we will clarify it directly with Olympia.
What makes this drip tray special
Taste-Neutral Chrome Steel
Chrome steel does not release anything into the water and does not react with coffee residues. Even after years of intensive use, there are no visible signs of corrosion – that's the Olympia material promise.
Precision Fit for Cremina and Maximatic
Tailored to the frame construction of Cremina and Maximatic models manufactured before 2017 – ensures a secure fit and clean seating of the drip grid. Replacement is simple: pull out the old tray, insert the new one, place the grid on top.
Year-Specific (not universal)
Olympia adjusted the design in 2017 – since then, there have been two parallel versions. This tray belongs to the older machines, while drip tray 17 is for all models manufactured from 2017 onwards. If in doubt, we will clarify this directly with Olympia before you place your order.

Roastery Tip
A fresh drip tray is one of those service parts that might not sound spectacular, but they are visibly present every day. Anyone who truly cares for their Cremina or Maximatic will eventually be happy to treat it to a new one. Our opinion, among many.
