my olympia cremina story

The short is A +$2000 machine I got for free!

This lever machine is a Olympia Cremina. It is made in Switzerland and is sought after machine, newer versions sell for +$2000. I actually received this machine from a white elephant gift exchange! The person that brought it took care of a rich elderly couple who had given it to her, she had no idea it's value and at the time neither did I. It takes a little more practice and patience to use this machine, but works great. The machine itself is built like a tank.

here is an excellent post on olympia machines
