Hello all! I received a 1990 Olympia Cremina in the mail that, tragically, was not packed well at all. :( There was minimal padding inside the package, and at one point I think the package was dropped in such a way that the machine landed on the water tank lid, bending and...
Hello all! Just taken ownership of a used La Spaziale Mini Vivaldi ii. The previous owner said he used filtered, relatively soft water, but thought I'd open it up and see what things were like. A few questions I was hoping someone might be able to assist with!
