Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine, Stainless Steel

La máquina es buena noche está mal mi molestia fue que el primer mes se averió no quería calentar y la tube que mandar a reparar .después de eso trabajo nuevamente y ahora trabaja bien

Great machine, priced right. This our second one. First one lasted 12 years. Needs some experience to get beverages just right. Matching grinder is also very good.

Seattle Coffee Gear was awesome when my machine turned out to have a malfunctioning internal part. This kind of stuff happens, and they were so responsive right away and arranged for me to ship the machine back. I loved the machine; they didn't have a replacement in stock, so I reordered the model with the built-in moment Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine with PID. I fully expect it to be excellent. I love the brand and the customer support from Seattle Coffee Gear.

Really Great Machine. I upgraded to this machine from using the Breville bambino & barista pro after I felt like those machines began limiting the profile of the espresso I could pull. So far it has proven to be a true upgrade from those machines. Not only is it in my experience easier to use, but it allows you to pull espresso with quite a depth of profile. I have used it with many different coffees (medium and dark roasts) and I have yet to find one that I cant dial in for a delicious cup with this machine. The machine is extremely well built and easy to service/clean. I also really like the upgradability and mod-ability of the machine. I have not done anything crazy to it, just upgraded the steam wand tip to 3 holes and I would recommend that to everyone that owns this machine, makes proper steaming much easier and faster. Haven't found the need to mod with the PID temperature controller yet, the temperature profile allows for extraction of all the coffees I use. I think the build quality and user experience of the machine is reflective of the cost, however, it is important to note there are more feature rich machines than this for the same price, they might just not be as good as pulling espresso. Lastly, what I find quirky about this machine: - The switch from brew to steam takes half the time it takes to make a latte, so about 2 minutes. - The min time I would let the machine warm up for before brewing is 15mins even if it says its ready faster. - After steaming milk, you have to recharge the boiler with water to avoid burning out the heating element, takes an extra 30-40 seconds. - So in summary little quirks but I'd say making a coffee from power on to shutdown takes about 20-25 minutes so as long as you are good with that and thats not a problem then you are good. I have thought about interfacing it with an alexa smart plug or something but I am afraid of burning out the heating element. The next upgrade I'll make from this machine will most likely be straight up to a LaMarzoco or pro machine, this one has prepared me for that jump.

Excellent purchase! Will come back.
