Espresso machine Cremina anthracite

The Cremina is the classic hand lever espresso machine with no ifs or buts. It works with the proven pre-infusion piston system: When the lever arm is pulled up, a small amount of water is drawn from the boiler into the piston chamber and flows into the pressed espresso powder to let it pre-swell. When the lever is pressed down manually, the hot water is pressed through the espresso powder. This tried and tested extraction process, combined of course with the growing experience of the Cremina owner, guarantees the perfect espresso, where crema, smell and taste create a harmonious pleasure for the eye, nose and palate. The only sound that can be heard from the Cremina is the singing as the boiler heats up.

Built for a little eternity

The materials of the machines are only stainless steel, chrome and brass. The brewing group pistons and sieve supports are made of highly polished, chrome-plated brass. Also the extra long steam pipe and the steam nozzle. This not only increases longevity, but also facilitates cleaning. The electrically operated top-filling chrome steel boiler (AISI314L quality) has a capacity of 1.8 litres, enough for 20 cups of classic espresso. The high performance tubular radiator made of stainless steel has a thermal fuse to protect against overheating. The high-tech seals made of Teflon and Gore-Tex also ensure perfection and longevity. The boiler pressure is already set to 0.7 to 0.8 bar and an optimum brewing temperature of 92°C at the factory. With the Cremina, it is the barista's skill to achieve the nine bar pressure on the strainer required for a perfect espresso by depressing the hand lever.

But the Cremina is not only convincing because of its inner values. Their outward appearance also makes the heart of every espresso machine purist beat faster: their solid chassis, thick-walled casing and fittings are of the highest quality. The front side, drip grid and drip tray are made of highly polished stainless steel. Frame and body are painted in high-quality and particularly resistant powder technology.
