Virtues

For more than 80 years, perfect material and workmanship have been top priority at Olympia Express. Each and every tiny detail is constantly rethought and, if necessary, optimized. At the beginning of the 1990s, for example, Olympia Express was the first espresso machine manufacturer to exclusively use chrome steel tanks. Although more expensive, they offer higher quality. And as there are no chrome steel parts available on the market, which can meet the high standards of the engineers, Olympia Express simply designs its own, in its own workshop. Through meticulous craftsmanship and accuracy the whole team strives to make the best espresso machines of all time, every single day.

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 precision.
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!
