Olympia Express in Burlingame
Olympia Express coffee equipment in Burlingame.
Burlingame Park and Easton Addition mix older character homes with extensive kitchen remodels. A Cremina often sits at a dedicated home coffee station, while a Maximatic makes sense where the owner wants a compact pump machine without moving to a cafe-sized body.
The $250 deposit includes pickup, bench diagnosis, and return delivery and is not credited toward repair. Extra bench time is $150 per hour. Diagnostics can take up to a week; most repairs run 3-4 weeks. That is exactly why I recommend preventive maintenance: a maintained machine does not sit in a repair queue for a month.
The SFO-side route has tight traffic windows, so pickup and return are scheduled rather than left open-ended. Coastal air and mineral residue both mark brass and chrome; I check the sight glass, steam packing, and boiler seams to find the source before recommending parts.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Piston seals and lever linkage. A stiff or uneven pull can start at the piston cups, return spring, or linkage. I inspect the full lever path so a fresh seal is not asked to hide worn hardware.
- Steam valve and stem packing. A drip at the steam wand may come from the valve seat, stem seals, or old packing. I test it hot and replace the worn sealing parts.
- Sight glass and boiler fittings. Sight-glass seals and heated fittings leave clear mineral tracks when they leak. I pressure-test the boiler and replace only the fittings that fail.
