The classic lever-operated
espresso machine.
The Cremina is a classic lever-operated espresso machine;
no ifs, no buts. It works with the proven pre-infusion piston
system: lifting the lever draws a small amount of water into the
piston chamber and forces it into the pressed ground coffee,
allowing it to expand. Lowering the lever forces the hot water
through the ground coffee. This tried and tested extraction
procedure, coupled with the continually increasing experience
of the individual Cremina owner, guarantees a perfect espresso,
a composition of crema, smell and taste—a harmonious plea-
sure for the senses. Even your ears will be delighted: the only
noise produced by your Cremina is the singing, when the boiler
heats the water.
Not only the "New York Times" and the "Neue Zürcher Zei-
tung" have considered the Cremina to be "the best espresso
machine in the world"; for more than 50 years, we have been
receiving fan mail from all around the world. This is not just
an honor for us, but also for every owner, who knows how
to create the perfect espresso. It does require some practice,
however, but once you have reached the perfect espresso, it will
always be just that: your very own espresso. A minor, yet subtle
distinction and a true event for every espresso lover.
