Rancilio Silvia coffee maker

"Commercial machine for home, brass boiler, commercial-size portafilter, resale value, savings from trips to cafes..."

"Good espresso with a good crema; easy to learn the basics Getting it perfect takes time and practice; pricey grinder almost necessary In May 2008, I moved back to the United States after two years in Rome..."

"The steam wand and control knob make frothing the milk a breeze once you understand..."

"I would give it 5 stars if it had a PID controller and a better knob to turn on the steam wand, but nothing comes close without paying $1500 This expresso machine make very good coffee..."

"There is definitely an art to this, and it takes time to get good at it, at least we hope..."

"Providing a neutral recommendation as there is nothing to say bad against the machine per se, except that it takes a lot..."
