Sure looks like it should have Olympia written on the side...

This is labeled as a Pasquini, but it sure has some parts that look like a cremina...

Granted, this doesn't *exactly* apply to the lever forum, but this does seem to be the Olympia hang out. Anyone know anything about this machine?

Olympia's other Jewel of a Machine

That's probably a steal at the 'Buy It Now', except for the badge

IT IS A RE-BADGED OLYMPIA MAXIMATIC- SHOULDN'T BE THERE LONG- IT IS A SMALL HX MACHINE THAT DOES A GREAT JOB. I HAD ONE LAST FALL. SOLD IT FOR MORE THAN THAT

Wow... Listed at 1520hrs PT and ended at 2225hrs PT... seven hours and a 500.00 selling price. Someone got a good deal if the insides look as good as the outside. But Who Anyone we know?

Not me, but I almost did twice... Like a I need another machine

Hi Gang,
I'm the one who decided to go for the buy it now. I'm learning to act fast when the opportunity arises. I've lost out recently on various Olympia machines, creminas and 1 other pasquini - the prices have been a little erratic to say the least. I have a La Cimbali Jr at home and I bought this as a little machine to take on holidays and such.
regards, Ian

Hi folks,

I was just wondering - is that the livietta with the larger grouphead/portafilter? it might be the angle of the foto but it looks a little bigger than others I have seen. Read somewhere that a larger grouphead model was produced late in their production life for the US market.

If this is the case does anyone know how available gaskets/baskets/portafilters are?

Sneaky.

Mine was a 88 model and if I could read the tag on the one just sold- it looked as if it said 1991-

My Livietta had a standard 49mm PF - my Cremina Pf was interchangeable in the machine.
