For intimidated prospective buyers and new users:

Pros Rugged, professional, great results
Cons Not automatic, this is a manual machine in every respect.
Recommended it? Yes

It is December 30th; five days after my wife opened her new Rancilio Ms. Silvia from Santa. Why write a review so soon? Because Santa was intimidated in bringing it and we were both intimidated in trying it, anticipating long and boring Sunday afternoons learning the intricacies of the fickle and...

Cons Doesn't have a boiler thermometer, but that has not been a problem for us.
Recommended it? Yes

My husband and I searched for quite awhile for the best, yet the most economical (if one considers $500 to be economical) espresso machine. We started out with a Starbucks machine that uses a pressurized porta-filter. After getting used to that machine, we wanted to move up to a "real one" and tamp... Read full review »

First-Time Espresso Owner/ Purchasing the Rancilio Silvia

bymarywildchild Jun 3, 2003
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Easy to use and clean, makes the best cup of espresso you'll ever enjoy!
Cons Can seem intimidating, not for the faint of heart.
Recommended it? Yes

The features of the Silvia are simple and easy to use. Pictures indicating what each of the switches do really helps you get a feel for the machine. The steam wand and control knob make frothing the milk a breeze once you understand the basics of how to froth. The portafilter and group head are... Read full review »

Pros Solid build, great lines
Cons Long heat time
Recommended it? Yes

I have had this espresso machine for 5 years now and believe I can give an honest opinion of its performance.
I bought this espresso machine after dinking around with other cheaper types, Krups, Delonghi etc. I thought they were okay but after some serious research I found you really can't... Read full review »

Silvia is my husband's mistress

Pros Terrific tasting product
Cons REALLY difficult to use.  
Recommended it? No

She is sleek and beautiful.  I'll give him that.  Silvia is easy on the eyes.  And she makes terrific espresso.
But I could sooner fix your car engine than make a single shot on her.  Double shots I can manage.  The single requires extreme tamping, and a lot of arm... Read full review »

I had spent a lot of time researching espresso machines before making the leap. The Silvia is the first espresso machine that I have purchased and glad that I did. I have had it for about 3.5 years and it has produced consistantly great espresso and has been trouble free.

$500 for espresso sound expensive?

Pros Makes consistently great espresso, easy to use and clean
Cons Cost may prevent many from considering the Rancilio
Recommended it? Yes

If you're a regular Starbucks customer, a machine like this may save you loads of money. Being self employed and working with my sibling, I deducted my Starbucks costs for a few years. Work-related Starbucks expenses averaged about $1000 a year --and that was not including non-work related... Read full review »

I have owned this machine for 3 wonderful years, and this is by far the best machine for the money bar none except for maybe a Gaggia machine.

Pros Easy to Use, Fast Brewing, Stylish
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

This is a beautiful machine! I started learning about brewing espresso at home with a Gaggia Coffee. I've since stepped up to the Silvia and I wish I had bought it right away. The espresso I produce with it is far superior, never sour or bitter if I use the right amount and tamp it properly, and I... Read full review »
