## Description

This popular traditional style semi-automatic espresso machine is built to last. Its strong linear designed housing is constructed of an iron frame and stainless steel side panels. Built with Rancilio's commercial grade group head for excellent heat stability and premium extraction quality. Features a patented ergonomic 58mm porta filter for superb extraction. These are the same porta filters used on Rancilio commercial machines. The single boiler of the Silvia has the largest volume capacity of any home machine in its class. Holding 0.3 liters (12oz) this chrome plated brass boiler produces outstanding steaming power and remarkable recovery time between shots. The two quart water reservoir can be removed or filled from the top at anytime during the operation. The Rancilio Silvia features an articulating stainless steel steam wand that allows for a complete range of motion for steaming perfect latte quality milk. Control steaming power with the commercially designed steam knob. This Silvia comes with a 7 gram coffee scoop, a plastic tamper and two filter baskets (single and double). This is the most current version of the Silvia available direct from the factory.

Review: A matter of person, not a matter of machine. - Miss Silvia can either be a dream machine or a regrettable purchase, but this has nothing to do with the machine and everything to do with the operator. Miss Silvia is a very simple and well built machine. Rancilio has been true to this concept since her inception. She sports a solid brass boiler, steel frame, and she's finely dressed in easy to clean stainless steel. There's no shortage of pressure, water, or heat. Everything about Miss Silvia is built to last. This simple, high-quality build approach isn't for everyone because it trades off automation for skill. A person who leans toward automatic, mediocre espresso will bemoan the simplicity of Miss Silvia. She lacks many modern features such as a PID controller, pressure gauge, timer, on/off scheduler, etc. Implementing such features in Miss Silvia would reduce her simplicity and dependability at her current price. Rancilio elected to favor quality and simplicity over automation to keep Miss Silvia's at her current price. That reality bridges us back to my opening comment that whether or not this is a dream machine comes down to the operator. I personally find it no chore at all to repeatably pull excellent quality shots from Miss Silvia. That's not an easy feat with numerous machines considerably more expensive then she is. However, to get these results I've followed my nature to study and practice. I've learned over the years with other equipment what it takes to pull excellent shots of espresso. While the espresso machine certainly does matter, pulling excellent quality shots goes far beyond the espresso machine. One must put in the time to learn about different roasts of coffee, grinds and grinders, tamping and tampers, heat consistency, maintaining pressure, and how to properly apply all these important areas to pull an excellent quality shot of espresso. I've applied my experience to Miss Silvia and enjoy the process of doing so. After getting to know her for a couple of months I have no trouble whatsoever enjoying one smooth shot of espresso after another... all with Miss Silvia in her stock configuration. It's also not in my nature to blame a tool if it doesn't do the job it was designed to do. That statement assumes two things. 1.) The tool was designed to do a job a specific way at a specific level of quality. 2.) The person using the tool understands how to use the tool properly in order to get the best results possible from the tool. Miss Silvia was designed to pull repeatably excellent quality shots of espresso. So an inability to get such results is the fault of the operator not Miss Silvia. If you're a person who likes analogies let me put it another way. If a person owns a high-quality pen but has terrible penmanship, a vacuum of creative writing ability, sparse knowledge of grammar, and a limited vocabulary is it the pen's fault they cannot write an engaging story? No, it's not the fault of the pen. It's the fault of the writer. With Miss Silivia it's the operator's fault if they cannot pull a high quality shot of espresso. That's the truth. With that analogy in mind I highly recommend Miss Silvia. If you understand the art of pulling excellent shots of espresso and are willing to put in the time to learn who she is and how she works she won't disappoint you. However, I don't recommend Miss Silvia if you refuse to get to know and understand her, or to study and practice the science of pulling repeatably great shots of espresso. If you don't enjoy the process and are only interested automation you will blame Miss Silivia for your own lack of ability to pull quality shots from her, and she really is a fantastic machine. If you're an instant-gratificationist I'm afraid there is no silver bullet to pulling repeatably great shots of espresso from Miss Silvia. You need to go for a more expensive automatic machine. The truth is there is a lot to learn about pulling great shots of espresso regardless of the machine. Even the most expensive espresso machine on the market would confront you with challenges. Every machine has a personality and Miss Silvia is no exception. She is, however, and exceptionally well-made machine for the money. Enjoying her build quality is a matter of the person, not a matter of the machine. Hope this helps you make a buying decision.
Review: Make very good espresso with thick creama and fantastic Lattes - The good - Very cool Italian design, made in Italy. Doesn't take up much counter space and makes excellent espresso and Lattes. Easy to clean and fun to experiment and operate. Great to practice your latte art. Makes fantastic micro foam for the milk. Wife says the coffee I make with it is as good as the professional coffee shop. The not so good - there is a technique to getting the best brew. MUST use fresh roasted coffee to get the best crema, older coffee does not pull the expected espresso. Must find the balance between coffee, grind and weight. My best espresso is pulled at 14.5-15 grams of the freshest coffee I can find not to exceed 20 days after roast date with my grinder set to just under a #2 grind. There is also a process to using the machine called temperature surfing. It involves steaming the milk first, then you run water through the steamer wand until the steam is gone and the jet is pure water. This is to lower the boiler temperature berfore making the espresso, this takes less time than pulling the espresso first and waiting the for the steamer to come up to temperature. Tons of info on U-tube on how to do this for this machine. It's very simple. It takes some practice to put together the perfect latte or pull the perfect espresso. But once you figure out the correct combination, you'll be critical of the professional latte and compare it to yours, if you ever pay $6 for a cup again. In all. Very happy with purchase. The reason for the 4 rating is that the machine should have come with a PID for the price. Lastly, I use bottled water, and this machine uses a lot of water. Update 12/27/18. I purchased the bottomless portafilter and have used it several dozen times. The espresso quality and crema made with the bottomless filter on this machine has far exceeded my expectations. This is all I use now. 20.3 grams of fresh roasted freshly ground coffee and in my opinion far exceeds what you pay for in a coffee shop. A must have accessory. Ive flipped head over heals for my Silvia and what I can make with it. Update 5-15-19. Machine operating well, I make 2 cups per day 7 days per week. Quality of coffee is outstanding! I havent paid for a coffee house Latte or Espresso since. Coffee house charges $3 to $6. My cost at home for exactly what I want and better quality, 68 cents. 6-15-20. Silvia still running well. I did the tune up wich is very simple and involves replacing the screen, wich really didnt need it, and the gasket. I back flush weekly and regular flush monthly. Silvia make as great an espresso or latte today as when new! Very happy with Silvia. Last update 12/30/21 - this machine is wonderful and continues to out perform. I found it has no problem quickly steaming 2 large lattes in a row. More than plenty of power in the steamer. Two cups or more for the last several years. Not a lick of trouble. I have easily replaced the gasket twice, and clean the group head once per year. I do a quick backflush weekly and thats it. I have thought of upgrading to a fancier machine like the Pro X or ECM, but cannot justify the cost and i don't believe it will produce as good a cup as my Ol Silvia. May 2022 - Silvia and Rocky still going strong after almost 4 years! Still makes fantastic espressos, lattes and other coffee drinks. This past week I took the entire Silvia and Rocky system into the mountains and made 8 cups of coffee every morning for 6 days straight for my friends. I found Silvia has enough pressure in the single boiler and can quickly steam 4 cups of milk in a row with out recharging the steamer. Still made fantastic Lattes! Very happy with this performance.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what comes in the box?**
A: Should also come with a plastic insert to block flow for cleaning purposes, see the video.

**Q: Is there enough space for an american size mug to be placed just below the spout?**
A: No can't fit a mug under not even a tea cup size one.    This machine is to draw espresso.   i have a double shot glass that i draw mine into and then a steel frothing cup which fits fine because the arm  rotates out.   you then pour both into the cup of choice.   This machine is absolutely awesome.  Sturdy design and materials.   if you have been through a couple now that break down due to plastic construction you will love the durability of this Rancilio

**Q: Is this made in Italy? US?**
A: This Rancilio Silvia V3 model is manufactured in Italy.

**Q: Does this product feature plastic water reservoir and other plastic water line conduit components? Of concern here are the potential health effects...**
A: You aren't going to find any espresso machine with a stainless steel water tank. Cost isn't the only issue. Only certain formulas of stainless will not actually be prone to corrosion when constantly immersed in water. Water quality, including alkalinity and dissolved solids and minerals can also react with the steel over time, though it is by nature more resistant to that than are other metals. The Silvia tank is polypropylene which was designed before BPA was even a question in people's minds and does not contain any BPA. Keep in mind that IV tubing is also sometimes made from polypropylene, so it can't be all that bad.

compre esta cefetera en amazon, en 2019. desde la fecha que la compre no funcionaba bien, al cabo del poco tiempo se me averio por la caldera de agua y todo el conjunto. desde la fecha estoy esperando que me solucionen el problema,ni amazon ni la empresa que se la compre me dan una solucion. creo que ha sido una gran estafa por parte de los vendeores y amazon.
