Everything about this video is perfect. All the equipment is perfect. Nothing more nor less is needed. What a clean, simple, home set-up. Sure, you could spend 10's of thousands of dollars and plumb in a Slayer or some other fancy machine but you will not pull a more perfect espresso than this. Outstanding!
hey claudio--wonderful video, I have come back and watched several times. Though I have an unrelated question, do you have any ideas on how to pull a lungo shot on a lever machine?
@@claudiolevermag I am looking for a 1:3 ratio at least. Maybe 1:4 if that is possible at all. Currently working on a La Pavoni Professional (14-14.5 gms in) , although I would think a similar method could be used on yours?
@@ablissfuldecline sure, first thing make sure you have properly adjusted the piston throw for best output. I suggest you to join this my group : facebook.com/groups/LaPavoniLeverOwners/?ref=share_group_link or this facebook.com/groups/LeverFever/?ref=share_group_link
Claudio is it common to dose 18grams for the Cremina, in the 49mm basket? I see often see 13-14 grams, I am not sure if that is more common for medium-dark roasted beans? Lovely video thanks so much, learning a bunch through your videos.
The Olympia Cremina is an awesome machine. With the Pressure Profiling Kit, you have full control on the pre-infusion pressure and time and the pressure you pull your shots to with the profile you desire. You can even add a bluetooth Smart Profiler and with a compatible bluetooth Scale (i.e. an Acaia Lunar) you have full control and can record all your shots. And when you pull a great shot it feels great. It's footprint compared to many other prosumer machines is small which is ideal for home kitchens. And the quality of build (especially with the new ones) is amazing. I bought a new 2021 model late last year (after 6 months of researching and deciding what Espresso machine I would buy and watching the two James Hoffman's UA-cam videos on the Cremina and SMART Pressure Profiler) that finally decided it for me) and I love mine. James Hoffman's video on the Cremina is spot on.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I have just tried to make a video that could really shed some light around light roasts extraction
Heheh, i’ve got that little knock box, also red. I wonder if it comes in green to match the Mina? Hmm, should i find some puck screens for the Mina?
Awesome Claudio. The Olympia Cremina becomes part of you...it's a wonderful life style change. I love mine
Un video perfetto, se lo vedevo prima di sicuro non sprecavo dell'ottimo Etiopian di Bugan!
Well done my friend…love it ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you mate 🤗❤️
My wife just said “ can’t we just use one of those sock things?” Ha
great one! 👍🏼👍🏼
Fantastic video, thanks very much, the cremina basket is supposed to be 49mm, are you really using a 49.5 shower screen?
Thanx! The screen should be 49.5, it is the one sold by bplus.biz like "premillenium size"

Interesting point. What output volume would you expect for a long?

@@claudiolevermag Okay certainly. Thank you
@@ablissfuldecline you bet I will take a video about a lungo

It is common when using light roasted beans that have a very delicate taste. However, the basket used is the Strietman /ims 18gr precision basket
Great Video!
Where exactly do you have mounted the temp probe?
Please post this question on lever fever FB group, I can't post the pic in here
Hey Claudio ! Can you tell me when did you bought that group thermomether? I need this for my cremina too :) better than temp strips.
Please check out my article about Cremina mods at www.thelevermag.com
I love it!
I fear I neeed that Olympia
