Olympia Express Short Handle for Mina – compact version

Olympia Express Short Handle for Mina – Compact Version

The short handle for the Mina – original part from the Schwanden factory, precisely matched to the Mina lever. Olympia offers two handle versions for the Mina in parallel; the short version here is the standard factory solution for the travel machine, compact and adapted to the travel case.

What makes this handle special

Travel-optimized compactness

The short handle version is designed for the Mina's travel characteristics – it fits into the Olympia Mina travel case (31 × 30 × 10 cm) without taking up unused space. Despite its short design, it provides enough lever travel for espresso-typical pressure build-up.

Olympia Original Construction

Shape, surface texture, and material comply with the factory specifications. Third-party solutions can rarely achieve the exact Mina lever feel.

Wear part with intensive use

After years of travel, the handle shows signs of wear. A fresh handle restores the authentic Mina travel feeling.
