We will also have available for purchase in North America, the Iconic Olympia Cremina 2008 Manual Lever Espresso Machine. We believe that our extensive experience in repair, restoration & supplying parts for vintage Olympia Express machines, and our association with Olympia Express, Switzerland, will be a positive step for all of us who love espresso!

Hi Chris, not yet - the move has been a bit more disruptive than they expected it would be, so they're sorting things out a bit still. We'll have all the info up, and parts posted as soon as we can! Thanks for asking,
Barb

Congratulation on the new relationship!

All of a sudden the Cremina has gone back into the desired machine list! Well, maybe I should wait to see the price... :mrgreen:

I'll be waiting to hear some more.

Doug and Barb, I couldn't think of a more appropriate couple to rekindle this great line in the US. Good luck with it, and I hope the new Olympia owners have a better business-sense than the previous. Congratulations, and I'm looking forward to hearing/seeing more!

Hi,

I'm new here, but I already feel like at home with all the other coffee-addicts :)

Congrats, I am glad that good things are happening in your professional life.

Did you already announce your personal-life relationship?

Hi John, welcome to the Home-Barista Forums!

Which personal-life relationship would you like to know about? If it's Doug's, and mine, we've been married for 18 years, and known each other for 18 years, plus 30 days! It was love at first bite... :lol:
