Description
Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine
Single Boiler, Dual-Purpose system
- Brass boiler: Made of a high-quality press forged marine brass. The small boiler helps keep a constant water temperature and facilitate the espresso coffee extraction. The insulation wrapping helps keep the boiler temperature stable.
Steam / Hot Water Wand
- Multi-purpose: Used for steam or hot water depending on the current mode.
Controls
- Visible heating light for brewing and steaming.
- Separate switch for hot water supply. The steam knob needs to be in the open position for water to come out of the steam wand.
Tank/Reservoir System
- Open top: Easier to clean the inside compared to others that only have a small hole.
Drip Tray / Grill
- Easily removable and easily cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth and warm water.
Vibratory (Vibration) Pump
- Efficient: 41 watts, rated up to 15 bar with air valve bypass. Only 9 bars is necessary to extract espresso, and wattage does not correlate with longevity.
- Cost-effective: Pumps will degrade in performance over time. Replacing a vibration pump will be less costly than a rotary vane pump.
