HIGHLIGHTS
full sized group-handle
thermal accumulation boiler
powerful steam wand
The Rancilio Silvia is a home espresso machine built with serious hobbyists in mind. With a sturdy, stainless steel build, a full-size group handle and a powerful steam wand, the Silvia removes many of the limitations that it’s competitors come with.
Full Size Group-handle
Many home machines have oddly sized or shaped, plastic group handles. This often means that general advice relating to espresso recipes can be difficult to apply. Fitting 18 grams into a basket can be difficult and pre-heating the group handle isn’t as simple with plastic builds. The group handle for the Rancilio Silvia has been taken directly off the company’s bigger, commerical machines. This means that it is made of coated brass, which holds temperature better, and can accomodate a full-size competition basket, just as all your favourite coffee shops use.
Fully manual operation
Many home espresso machines claim to do almost everything for you. They set the dose, steam the milk and even dial in the best grind setting for the espresso; Except that in reality they don’t do any of it anywhere near perfectly. In trying to satisfy their claims of fully automatic operation, they remove a lot of the ability to change settings yourself and take that espresso from decent to perfect. The Rancilio Silvia lets you set your dose, your grind and steam your own perfectly silky milk as the best cafés do. Admittedly it’s lack of ‘automatic’ functionality means you will need to gain some knowledge in order to operate the machine as well as possible, but in our eyes this isn’t a drawback, it’s an advantage. This is why even if you’re not yet the biggest coffee hobbyist, this machine will make you one.
Perfect pair for the Stile grinder
If you don’t already have a grinder, we offer the Rancilio Stile grinder along with the Rancilio Silvia at a great discount. Fully adjustable grind setting which allows for micro-adjustments, not pre-set steps, allowing you to find the perfect grind. The Stile allows for single and double shots to be saved by grind time, so once you dial your favourite coffee you won’t have to tweak it too often.
Home Barista Workshop
We offer a 2-3 hour session, at our production site, for which you can bring your espresso machine and learn, from a barista with over a decade’s worth of experience how to get the most out of your equipment. So in leiu of selling you a product that requires extra knowledge and leaving you to it, we are offering a Home Barista Workshop worth £100 to anyone who buys the Rancilio Silvia whilst our current stocks last
