Hi All you CS'ers...
Up for grabs is my Olympia Cremina. Its the new one, with the updated internals purchased from the factory itself with the help of CoffeeParts in Sydney.
Price - $3000 - this will include machine, all extras that came in the box, and a replacement set of seals for the machine (and anything else I have lying around...)
It is basically brand new with a couple of extras - I have added a thermal strip to the group head (an absolute necessity if you want consistant shots) and have a spare set of seals for the unit. The seals probably last about 18mths with regular use, but are fairly cheap and easy to replace yourself (you dont have to be too much of a handy man or have a whole bunch of tools).
These things are bullet-proof! There are models of these from the 40's, 50's and 60's that are still producing as good a shots as when they were first made.
The finish on these is exceptional and I have absolutely no complaints.
It is really a machine for someone who likes a challenge, and enjoys the journey of extracting good coffee just as much as the destination. I will be very sore to see it go - I was looking at keeping this as a legacy machine, you know, one you can give to your kids - but circumstances have changed and I need to let it go.
Probably suited for someone who is looking to purchase a new one, but at a discounted price.
Let me know if you have any questions, happy to answer any and all requests.
I have included a couple of real life shots (excuse the one with food, I don't normally drink milky coffees, so when someone came over for brekkie the other day, i took a shot) of both the machine and its results.
Enjoy!
JC
