Hello,

It is quite similar to WMF & some older Faema.
Nice merchandise machine.
I seems saw it on eBay before ?
Is it a Reneka machine?

78 or ? mm PF ?
I hope you can get all parts you need.
Does it need a tamper ?
If there are too many tailor parts you need to order.
I suggest to make it as a nice display than operating machine.
Very big water tank....
Of course, I would like to see the restored look.
Please post photos if you completed the rebuilt. Thanks

Would you please share your Olympia Cremina experience?
You rebuilt it yourself ?

You drink exceptional espresso ?

Welcome and happy to share with you.

Regards

Welcome to the forum Ed.
From the evidence contained in your blog you do seem to be the embodiment of the American "can do" attitude. Great stuff.

Welcome to the madhouse! It looks like a nice shiney filter brewer that thing, but I really do know nothing about it.

This week I like my coffee luke-warm.

Thanks for all the welcomes and kind words! I found someone from France who posts on another forum and has a similar machine. We have a thread going that will continue as I do the rebuild. For those who are interested I will continue to update this thread. Is it ok on TMC for me to mention with link the other forum for those interested in viewing that thread? thanks again, Ed

Hello farmroast,
I guess Cakey agree this, due to non commercial purpose ??
Reneka is a French company, I guess it is more easy for them to rebuild in France ??
Please let us know more sources for parts from your rebuild project ... ??
Would you please send me the sources of your good green beans from ?
Many Thanks

As long as people don't post links to commercial sites that they have a vested interest in, there's no problem at all with providing links to other sites. Oh, that and Cakey's fetish sites, truly horrendous what he can do with a muffin! :wink:
Ps. yell if you get stuck on any of the French, I know a man who can help :wink:
This week I are feeling sleepy!
