Olympia Express in South San Francisco
Olympia Express coffee equipment in South San Francisco.
West of 101, South San Francisco has post-war homes similar to neighboring Daly City, many with remodeled compact kitchens. A Cremina gives a true lever setup without taking over the counter; the Maximatic brings pump operation to the same kind of space.
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.
Fog can haze exposed metal while a leaking valve leaves a mineral line, and I distinguish the two before quoting. The machine travels in a sealed crate through the 101 corridor with the lever, tray, and portafilter secured separately.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Lever piston and cup seals. Hardened piston cups make the Cremina lever drag, slip, or leak past the group. I inspect the piston and replace the seal set only after checking the sleeve surface.
- Group sleeve and gasket. A scored 49 mm group sleeve can damage a new seal quickly. I inspect the bore, gasket seat, and lever movement together before rebuilding the group.
- Boiler heat and pressure control. Slow heat, overheating, or unstable pressure can come from the element, pressurestat, wiring, thermal protection, scale, or the safety valve. I meter and pressure-test before ordering parts.
