Rancilio Silvia

For some coffee connoisseurs making an espresso is an art form, not a process.

The Rancilio Silvia is a commercial grade machine that's been compressed into a domestic body. The components are of the highest quality, the boiler , group head , steam nozzle, steam valve , and chrome filter holder are constructed of press forged marine brass. The Rancilio Silvia has rightfully earned it's reputation as the best manual espresso machine available on the market.

To get the most from this machine you need to be prepared to put in the effort of a true barista. This machine requires only the freshest coffee and the correct grind to produce the awesome espresso that it's capable of. We highly recommend pairing this machine with a quality grinder such as the Rancilio Rocky or the Nemox Lux as it will not work with pre-ground supermarket coffee. We only recommend the Rancilio Silvia for those who are very serious about their coffee.

Can get this one for $600. any recomendations

A true benchmark machine, this machine made Rancilio a lot of money in the past four years - it has become the standard against which all other consumer, single boiler machines are measured against.

Justdoit, I have 2 daughters who are trained Barista's and they have given me lesson after lesson on making a nice coffee alas, I am still hopless ! Mind you coffee tastes better when someone else makes it. Good luck with the machine, you won't be dissapointed.
