02 Cremina
Take a look at the inside: what you will encounter is nothing
but stainless steel, chrome, brass and perfect manufacturing.
The brew group, consisting of group head and portafilter are
made of brass—and are of course chromed and polished to a
high gloss. The steam wand and the steam nozzle are made
of chrome steel which increases the longevity of the machi-
ne and facilitates the cleaning. The electric boiler, made of
chrome steel is filled by opening the top and has a capacity
of 3.8 pints—enough for 20 cups of classic espresso. The high
performance tubular heating element has a thermal protec-
tion against overheating of the boiler. In order to guarantee a
perfect result and longevity, the gaskets used in the Cremina
are made of high-tech material. The default pressure is adjusted
to between 0.7 and 0.8 bars and the brewing temperature to
198 °
f
. The Cremina leaves it to the skill of the barista to find
the required nine bar pressure onto the portafilter by lowering
the lever at just the right time.
However, not only the inside of the Cremina is convincing.
Espresso machine purists are also thrilled with its outer ap-
pearance: the massive chassis, the sturdy casing and the fittings
are of finest quality. The front with its illuminated operation
display, as well as the grate and tray are made of high-gloss pol-
ished stainless steel. Frame and casing are elaborately lacquered
with especially resistant powder coating.
