I am in the process of working with a friend to produce a deeper replacement drip tray for the Olympia Espresso machines. I am just probing to see if there is any interest and to inquire as to what would be a fair price that the market could support. If the cost to produce it plus a reasonable profit is more than the market will bare, then there is no point in producing it. Remember it is early, but I think the drip tray could retail for between $75 and $100 depending on how things unfold in reality. We are debating on whether to put some tabs in the corners so one could use the old screen or to produce a new screen. I think option 2 is best seeing as some new (used) Cremina owners have neither. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up.
I would suggest the deep tray and screen as a combination. The shallow tray has always been a hassle for me also.

Perhaps you could offer both separately as options. I would be interested in a deeper drip tray, but like the current screen and would rather save the money. Just a thought. :)
