The Cremina is the perfect lever espresso machine without any ifs or buts.

• Classic Swiss design
• Only the highest quality materials

Swiss engineering

The Cremina works with the tried and tested pre-infusion piston system: when the lever arm is pulled up, a small amount of water is drawn into the piston chamber and flows into the pressed espresso powder to allow it to pre-swell. When the lever is manually pressed down, the hot water is pressed through the espresso powder.

This tried and tested extraction process, together with the growing experience of the Cremina owner, guarantees that perfect espresso in which crema, smell and taste create a harmonious delight for the eyes, nose and palate. And your ears are delighted too: the only sound you hear from your Cremina is the singing as the boiler heats up.

Appreciated worldwide

The New York Times and the Neue Zürcher Zeitung are not the only ones who have described the Cremina as "the best espresso machine in the world". For 40 years now, we have received a lot of fan mail from all over the world.

This is not only an honor for us, but also for every owner who knows how to get an obviously perfect espresso out of their Cremina. This does take a bit of practice, however. But you will be rewarded with the fact that the espresso from "your" Cremina will always be your very own espresso. A small but subtle difference - and a real experience for every espresso lover.

Built to last a little eternity

Take a look at their inner values: you will find stainless steel, chrome and brass and perfect craftsmanship.

The brewing group, consisting of piston and portafilter, is made of brass - and of course chrome-plated and highly polished. The same goes for the extra-long steam pipe and steam nozzle - this increases durability and makes cleaning easier. The electrically operated, top-filled boiler made of chrome steel (quality AISI 314 L) has a capacity of 1.8 liters and is enough for 20 cups of classic espresso.

The high-performance tubular heating element made of stainless steel has a thermal fuse to protect against overheating. The high-tech seals made of high-quality technical plastics also ensure perfection and durability. The boiler pressure is already set at 0.7 to 0.8 bar and a brewing temperature of 92 °C in the brewing head at the factory. With the Cremina, it is up to the barista's skill to achieve the pressure of nine bar on the portafilter required for a perfect espresso by pressing down the hand lever.
