It struck me today that something we probably haven't bothered to emphasise enough is just how compact the Olympia Cremina really is.  To illustrate a point this image shows our currently rather unkept Cremina sitting on a sheet of A4 sized paper.

Take our word for it; the A4 paper protrudes beyond the footprint of the Cremina on all four sides (excluding the end of the lever arm and the portafilter handle which protrude outside this boundary).  In a word it's tiny, yet makes espresso to a standard only found on a commercial machine and lasts for decades.
