Safety instructions.
The Maximatic espresso machine is designed to be
used in the home or in office kitchens. Please read ca-
refully the guarantee terms on the enclosed postcard.
For your own safety and in order not to invalidate your
warranty rights, please pay attention to the following
safety instructions:
•Read the instructions very carefully before you first
start the machine. Keep them close to the machine
in case any questions should arise.
•Please do never open the boiler top 1when the
machine is switched on and if the steam wand 12
has not been emptied completely. Only open the
boiler top when the machine is switched off 4. Also
open the steam tab 3in order to release built up
pressure.
•The apparatus can only be connected to AC power
supply. The allowed voltage can be found on a plate
on the bottom side of the machine.
•When the machine is switched on, your Maximatic
can get very hot. Please only touch the machine at
its handles and make other users aware of the thre-
at of burns and scalds, which can occur for example
through the leaking of hot water or the discharge of
hot steam.
•Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
•When faults occur while the machine is on, and be-
fore all cleaning and maintenance work, remove the
plug from the power outlet.
•Only specialists and authorized personnel are allo-
wed to repair electrical goods.
•Never yank the cable in order to pull out the plug,
nor touch it with wet hands.
•This piece of machinery may be used by children
8 years of age and over who have been supervised
or instructed in the safe use of the equipment and
have understood the resulting hazards. Cleaning
and maintenance by the user must not be carried
out by children unless they are 8 years of age or
older and are supervised. The appliance and its
connecting cable must be kept away from children
under 8 years of age.
•Equipment may be used by persons with limited
physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of expe-

vice or a similarly qualified person to avoid hazards.
•Only use approved extension cables.

01 Olympia Express.
No compromise.
For more than 90 years, perfect materials and workmanship
have been top priority at Olympia Express. Each and every tiny
detail is constantly rethought and, if necessary, optimized. This
is why Olympia Express was the first manufacturer to be using
chrome steel water tanks, which meet the strict hygienic and
technical demands of our engineers.
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 50-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 pre-
cision. 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.

Owner’s Book •02 Maximatic
Since 1974, the Maximatic has followed the tradition of a
classic commercial machine, and can more than match its
role model from the catering trade.
Designed as a professional espresso machine in small format,
it has been famous for decades for being a guarantor of pro-
ducing the best quality espresso. Furthermore, the Maximatic
has grown to become a unique object of high value in its past
45 years. The witnesses to this philosophy can be found in
offices and penthouses all over the world. There are many
reasons for the success the Maximatic has been experiencing:
A classic and elegant design, the more than average reliability
and the use of high quality material, on the inside as well as
on the outside.
In 2002, the technology and the design of the machine were
overhauled and improved even further. It is our pleasure to an
nounce, that since 2018, we have been able to offer our custom-
ers the newest Maximatic model – the best Maximatic that has
ever existed! We wish you many enjoyable hours with her.

Owner’s Book • 02 Maximatic
The smallest dual-circuit machine
in the world.
The Maximatic is the right machine for those, who seek a
little more convenience. This electric, semiautomatic espresso
machine is so handy and small that it almost fits on an a4-
sized piece of paper. This has been made possible thanks to
the individual production of all components, ranging from
the vibrationisolated pump to the boiler and thus making the
Maximatic the smallest espresso machine with a dualcircuit
heating system in the world. It is so straightforward and easy
to handle that it can be used at home as well as in offices,
studios, doctors’ surgeries and galleries.
The Maximatic is also an expression of the philosophy of
Olympia Express. Our machines are not only built with
passion, but also with the knowhow and the experience of
90years of espresso machine manufacturing.
That is why the Maximatic is so compact, so reliable and
the noise level so low. Swiss made, you know.

The Maximatic has two water tanks: The fresh water tank
and the boiler. The fresh water tank can house 3.17 pints and
be refilled while the Maximatic is in operation. Via a closed
piping system, the water is lead from this tank through the
boiler. During the process, it is heated to 212°F, so that when
it reaches the brew group, it has a temperature of 198°F – the
ideal brewing temperature for espresso. The boiler (Capacity:
2.11 pints) produces the steam necessary for frothing the milk.
The boiler and the fresh water tank are made of high quality
chrome steel.
The front is made of high gloss polished steel. Frame and
casing are lacquered with a highly resistant powder coating.
The Maximatic’s surface can be used to preheat the espresso
cups; the drip tray and the grate can be easily removed and
cleaned. Not to mention the illuminated extraction button
with the OlympiaExpress logo, the water gauge, the extra
long steam wand, the thermal protection of the heating ele-
ment, the mechanic safety valve for the boiler as well as the
gaskets are made of high-tech material.
This exceptional manufacturing quality can only be reached,
because it remains the engineers’ and designers’ prime goal
to build the perfect espresso machine.
