01 Olympia Express.
No compromise.
For more than 80 years, perfect materials and workmanship
have been top priority at Olympia Express. Each and every tiny
detail is constantly rethought and, if necessary, optimized. This
is why Olympia Express was the fi rst manufacturer to be using
chrome steel water tanks, which meet the strict hygienic and
technical demands of our engineers.
The same holds true for the design: “Form follows function”.
This basic design principle makes Olympia Express products
a perfect example of Swiss design.
The concept of sustainability is an increasingly important issue
in our society. This has been the guiding principle for Olympia
Express for decades. Our machines are durable and repairable,
with 40-year old machines still working perfectly and being
“vintage” machines, they are much sought after among
enthusiasts.
Of course, more machines could be produced but that would
mean compromising on the attention paid to quality and pre-
cision. However, drinking espresso is to some extent a cultural
achievement. Olympia Express has been upholding this culture
for generations. The passion for Italian espresso merges with
the old tradition of Swiss craftsmanship, resulting in a product,
which continues to delight its owner over and over again.
