Data from official source
The Maximatic is Olympia Express's small machine built like a café machine: water from the tank runs through a heat exchanger inside the boiler, heats beyond a hundred degrees and leaves the group at 92 °C, espresso temperature. The same stainless-steel boiler provides steam for milk and hot water.
The pump is a damped vibration pump; a gauge shows boiler pressure, an indicator the water level, and the logo lights up while the element is heating. The steam wand is extra long, the top surface warms cups, and the drip tray and grid lift out for washing. A safety valve on the boiler and thermal protection on the element come as standard.
Born in 1974, it almost fits on a sheet of A4: it suits a kitchen as well as an office or a studio. It is for someone who wants espresso made with café gestures in very little space; the 1.5-litre tank, though, needs frequent refilling.
