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. Never before has a brew group with a compression spring been used on such a compact machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the Cremina SL special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpring-actuated brew group – consistent pressure without barista skill\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe completely redesigned brew group is the heart of the Cremina SL. 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. Boiler pressure factory set to 1.1 to 1.2 bar – significantly higher than the classic Cremina (0.7–0.8 bar). Brewing temperature 92 °C in the brew head. The higher boiler pressure provides more thermal reserves for consecutive shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwiss materials, compactly packaged\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrew group made of brass, chromed and highly polished.

It's also a statement – the lifestyle of a lever machine remains, the upward movement of the lever is its own little ritual. If you want full control in your own hand, check out the classic Cremina.

This is not better than the classic Cremina, it's different. For beans, we stick with Cozy Chocolate for everyday use.
