We inherited this machine last year and it has made some wonderful espresso and makes beautifully textured steamed milk! It is a joy to use, works flawlessly, and is built like a tank! It will last for generations.
Cremina:
The burnt orange color is rare, and this machine is as “like new” as it can possibly be except for one small chip in the orange paintwork. It was also highly recommended by World Barista Champion James Hoffman as the best machine for espresso nerds and coffee hobbyists.

Restoration and Service:
When we decided to sell it, we had it restored professionally at Cerini Coffee on Arthur Avenue (invoice in pictures). Cerini is the only specialist store servicing these machines in the US. They did a great job. They inspected the whole machine for safety, descaled it, and replaced the gaskets and heating element. Since then, we have made coffee a handful of times to make sure it still worked.
