Today At The Shop! Londinium Espresso Machine

Nothing like a 58mm spring lever machine...
There is a certain magic in these machines. Today I completed the repair on this lovely machine
and you can see and hear some of the things we fixed.
Feel free to ask any questions below!
Lever Power!

How’s this vs the Olympia Cremina?

[@ozespresso]

Good question. These two are a bit similar but very different, here are some of the differences. First, the Larger 58mm portafilter can hold more coffee than the Cremina, this will reduce a more traditional shot. While the Cremina has a smaller basket, it is more of a precision tool for extracting a more precise espresso. Please remember that (almost) all big levers are spring-loaded ve the standard Cremina. The bottom line, is both are good machines, just for different purposes. Hope this helps! -Y

What would you say is the biggest difference vs the profitec pro 800?

[@ozespresso]

I think Profitec got better build quality from my personal experience working on a couple of LD machines. Hope this helps. -Y

@@ozespresso Thanks for these great videos, what are some of the points you can mention that profitec has better build quality? I am trying to decide between an 800 and the R24

@@peterlam2155@ peter Lam Hi Peter, Both machines are good, Londinium improved their build quality and customer service in the past couple of years so in terms of that both are the same. It really comes down to personal preference and aftersales support, depending on where you are located, it can have an effect on the user experience as you want to keep in mind that the group will need to be serviced at some point and you or a technician will need to service it. Hope this helps!

@@ozespresso I ended up going with a cremina :) just really good build quality and simplicity. The simplicity piece really allows for decades of future service I think
