This is a vintage 1972 Olympia Cremina Espresso Machine, made in Switzerland. Despite its age, it's been well cared for.
The machine works well. I replaced the seals around the group head + piston (which was leaking). Orphan Espresso carries various parts for these machines, FYI.
The portafilter and baskets, scoop, and tamper are new, not 1972.
I'm partial to manual lever machines - one notable aspect of this machine is that it's heavy, and with the additional weight of water in it, it stays put when you press down on the lever - a very solid feel.
From their website: Default pressure is 0.7-0.8 bars, brew temperature is 198°F.
Capacity: 3.8 pints.
