    We added the Bellezza Bellona to our dual boiler line of espresso machines back in early 2023. It has attracted many potential customers with features such as its stainless steel, insulated boilers. The PID controls allows you to program preinfusion, ECO mode, and a built-in shot timer. The main feature is it’s external glass reservoir. This makes it easy to fill and monitor. The lid as also sealed to keep anything from crawling in.

    The one thing that makes this machine stand out in a negative way is its height. Although the steam handle itself is a high quality part, it makes the total height of the machine ~19.25″. This eliminates itself from many kitchen countertops.

    We have brought this up with the manufacturer and asked for a shorter alternative. In the meantime, we dug into our extensive parts catalog to try to find a solution.

    It only takes 2 parts:

  • Which is Right for You? Rancilio Silvia Pro X or Silvia Classic

    [ux_text font_size=”0.9″ font_size__sm=”0.9″ font_size__md=”0.9″]

    We have carried the Rancilio Silvia Classic since 1998, shortly after it was introduced on the market.  Rancilio incorporated several updates to the Silvia Classic and the result is the Silvia Pro X.  Both are made with commercial grade components, are very durable and very temperature stable.  So what are the differences between the Rancilio Silvia Classic and the Rancilio Silvia Pro X, and which is the right choice for you?

    The Biggest Difference Between The Silvia Classic And The Silvia Pro X?

    The Pro X is an upgrade of the Silvia Classic and contains more features than the Classic, primarily because of a change from a single boiler (Classic) to a dual boiler (Pro X).  The Pro X has a much larger size and footprint because of the upgrades.

    [col span=”8″ span__sm=”12″]

    [ux_text font_size__sm=”0.9″]

    Single Boiler (Silvia Classic)

    • Steaming Milk:  The Silvia Classic has a single boiler, so you cannot pull espresso and steam milk at the same time.  The boiler has to be manually changed via a switch on the front panel from coffee to steam mode.
    • PID:  There is also no PID on the Silvia Classic.
    • Size: Because the machine is a single boiler, it is a smaller machine and has a smaller footprint.
    • Portafilter:  Comes with a standard portafilter with a smaller basket, with a recommended dose up to 16 g.
    • Features: The Silvia Classic is a great starter machine or a machine for someone who likes to tinker and experiment because there are so many accessories and kits available.

    [col span=”8″ span__sm=”12″]

    [ux_text font_size__sm=”0.9″]

    Dual Boiler (Silvia Pro X)

    • Steaming Milk: The Silvia Pro X has a dual boiler – one boiler for coffee and a second boiler for steam.  This allows you to steam milk and pull espresso at the same time, which makes preparing milk based drinks like lattes and cappuccinos easier.  This is even more of a consideration if you are doing a lot of milk based drinks or a lot of entertaining.
    • PID:  The Silvia Pro X comes with a dual PID.  The PID has more accurate and advanced temperature control for the steam and coffee boilers and as a result provides more temperature stability than the Classic.
    • Size: Because the machine is a dual boiler, it is a taller machine and has a larger footprint.
    • Portafilter:  Comes with an upgraded portafilter with a soft touch handle and a larger basket, with a recommended dose up to 20 g.
    • Features:  Because of the dual boiler and the addition of the the PID, the Silvia Pro X has the following features that are not available with the Silvia Classic:
      • Pressure Gauge
      • Digital Display and Shot Timer
      • Access to Boiler Pressure and Temperature Controls
      • Variable Soft Infusion that allows you to bloom the coffee during extraction
      • Automatic Shutdown which puts the machine in sleep mode after a period of non-use.
      • Automatic Backflush setting that helps to simplify the backflush cleaning process.

    Which Rancilio Silvia Is Right for You?

    Both are great espresso machines!

    If space is an issue, the Silvia Classic is a smaller machine.  If you do not make a lot of milk based drinks, or if you are looking for a great starter machine, the Silvia Classic is a great machine.  The Silvia Classic gives you the ability to tinker as you begin to expand your coffee knowledge, so the machine can grow with you!

    If space is not an issue and you make a lot of milk based drinks or do a lot of entertaining, the Silvia Pro X is a great espresso machine.  The ability to steam milk while pulling a shot as well as the PID is a big plus.  The Silvia Pro X gives you access to manipulate more parameters during the pulling of an espresso shot.  If you are interested in any of the other upgrades from the Silvia Classic such as the digital display, variable soft infusion, etc. then the Silvia Pro X is way to go!

    Regardless of which Silvia you choose, you will have a very temperature stable and very durable espresso machine that can produce a wide range of drinks!

    [col span=”8″ span__sm=”12″]

    [ux_text font_size=”1″ font_size__sm=”0.9″]

    Note: This process of emptying the boilers only needs to be done in rare cases such as:

    • If you need to ship your machine for repair, especially during cold months to reduce risk of the boilers/pipes from cracking
    • if there is a prolonged period of non-use of your machine

    Method #1 – this method requires some tools and removes virtually all the water from both boilers

    • Power off and unplug your machine. Allow it to cool as much as possible to avoid the risk of burns.
    • Unscrew the plate underneath the machine (photo 1) using a 3 mm hexagonal wrench. There are 6 screws total.
    • To empty the coffee boiler, insert the supplied PTFE tube (photo 2, top) and open the valve to let all the water out. If you are having difficulty, you can remove the back panel of the machine for easier access.
    • To empty the steam boiler, insert the supplied PTFE tube (photo 3, bottom), open the valve and let all the water out.
    • After finishing, close the valves and replace the cap under the base.

    Method #2 – this method doesn’t require any tools and removes most of the water from both boilers

    • Power on the machine and let it fully heat.
    • Remove the intake hose from the water tank.
    • Put a large cup underneath the grouphead.
    • Pull the lever down until steam comes from the grouphead and immediately power off the machine! (Please Note: you don’t want the machine operate without water in the boiler, but you cannot empty the coffee boiler with the machine off. So attentiveness and speed is important with this step)
    • Empty the cup and put it underneath the hot water wand (you may need a bigger cup).
    • Open up the hot water wand and keep open until as much water can be pushed out.

    If you have any questions, please contact us.

  • WARNING! READ FIRST! Elektra Semiautomatica Startup

    WARNING! READ FIRST! Elektra Semiautomatica Startup

    Congratulations on purchasing an Elektra Semiautomatica. I’m sure you are very eager to plug in and start making espressos and cappuccinos. However, it is very important to read and follow the steps below. A lot has happened from the Elektra facility in Europe to this beautiful machine showing up at your doorstep.

    What we do:

    When we receive your order, we bench-test the machine (only with water) before preparing it for shipment to you. We don’t assume any machine from any manufacturer is perfectly functional right out of the box. Even though most manufacturers do their bench testing, we still do ours. Afterward, we drain as much water as we can from the boiler(s).

    What you need to do:

    1. First, check for any moisture whether on the machine or in the box. When we bench test machines it is impossible to get every drop from the machine. IF THERE IS ANY MOISTURE VISIBLE, PLEASE WAIT 24 HOURS FOR THE MACHINE TO AIR DRY.  OPERATING THE MACHINE WHILE WET CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE UNIT AS WELL AS PERSONAL INJURY AND PHYSICAL DAMAGES WHICH WE (MANUFACTURER, IMPORTER, DEALER, AND RESELLER) WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR.

    TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE WHICH WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR START UP

    1. Look inside the top water bowl/tank. Check/remove any particles. Fill it with water to ~80% full.
    2. Check the coffee switch on the right side is not pressed in. It needs to be out.
    3. Check the power button is in the OFF position (usually pressed on the “0” side).
    4. Plug the unit’s electrical cord into a preferred GFI (GFIC) electrical outlet.
    5. As soon as you power the unit on (depress the power switch to “I”), immediately DEPRESS AND HOLD the boiler refill switch. You should hear the pump make a burring noise.

    WARNING: If you hear no sound, this means a wire came off the pump in shipping (it happens), please power it off to avoid the heating element from melting down.

    WARNING: If you hear a light hum, turn off the power immediately as a particle is blocking the pump or refill valve.

    1. CONTINUE DEPRESSING THE BOILER REFILL SWITCH UNTIL YOU SEE THE LEFT SIGHT GLASS FILL WITH WATER UP TO 75% (PLEASE NOTE THIS PROCESS CAN TAKE OVER A MINUTE BEFORE YOU SEE ANYTHING IN THE GLASS.
    2. You must maintain a minimum 25% water level in the sight glass at all times. Otherwise, the heating element inside will melt and damage, and this is not covered under warranty. The heating element will only melt
    3. and damage in this case and most likely will trip your GFI or circuit breaker if the unit does not heat, there is a reset on the bottom.

    Other things to do:

    • Power protection
      Get a surge suppressor to protect your machine against surges or spikes.
    • Water choice
      Used softened water. Hard, distilled, reverse osmosis, and purified waters can also damage your machine and will void your warranty. Have your water tested using a TDS meter (80-120ppm) and tests by a local water testing company at your facility with hardness at 1-2 French degrees. Water company tests are only reflective of results at their testing point.

  • Technical Support – Pump/Gauge Oscillating

    Customer issue: Why do the pump and respective brew pressure gauge oscillate during an espresso extraction on traditional espresso machines (not super automatics)? This is typically for vibration pump espresso machines, not rotary ones.

    The usual suspect is the grind fineness not being consistent or coffee beans that are too fresh (not degassed, but to rule out the espresso machine, the following should be performed:

    1. On a machine that is capable of backflushing (not all espresso machines are capable and skip this step if not), insert a blind basket in the portafilter or a blind insert into the 2-cup basket, and insert the portafilter into the grouphead. Engage the pump for 30-40 seconds, If there is no oscillation, then it is the grinder, beans, or grind fineness that is the issue. If it continues, proceed to Step 2.
    2. If there is no water softener in the tank, proceed to Step 3. If the pump oscillates like in Step 1, remove any water softener. Perform Step 1 again. If it doesn’t oscillate, then the water softener is clogged and usually needs replacement. If it continues, proceed to Step 3.
    3. Remove the water from the tank, fill it with a descaling solution, and run 8-12 ounces of solution through the grouphead without the portafilter. Perform a backflush routine (without backflush detergent as there is a descaling solution in the boiler and grouphead). Allow to sit for 4-8 hours. Remove the solution and rinse the tank. Then fill the tank with plain water. Run 8-12 ounces of water through the grouphead. Perform Step 1. If there is no oscillation, then you cleared the pathway causing the oscillation. If it still oscillates, proceed to Step 4.
    4. When using the blind filter or insert, check the power light to see if it dims. If it does dim, then the power supply may be an issue. If there is no dimming, then proceed to step 5.
    5. The pump at this point will need replacement. Please use the parts diagrams to find the correct part, and search by part number on our website for availability, pricing, and ordering.

  • How To: Repackaging Your Elektra Semi-Automatica

    [ux_text font_size=”1″]

    If you have to ship your Elektra Semi-Automatica, it must be very securely packed to prevent shipping damage. We highly recommend saving ALL the packaging after you have set up your machine. If you can’t keep the packaging for whatever reason, please read the steps below to see if you can replicate the packaging at the very least.

    Note:

    • When returning a machine for a refund, ALL the machine components must be returned. All of the following instructions must be done to prevent damage/partial refund.
    • When sending a machine for repair, we usually need JUST the machine and NONE of the loose components (unless their is a specific issue with one of the components). Some of the following instructions involving the loose components can be skipped.

    First, unplug the machine and let it cool. Empty the water out of the top basin. The easiest way to empty the water from the boiler is from the steam valve. Unscrew the wand, open the valve, and tilt the machine into your sink. Then close the valve.

    Keep the wand separate for now.

    To prevent the machine from shifting while in transit, fill both sides of the machine with packaging material. Instapak is the ideal solution as it will fill all the open space. Place on both sides of the machine and separate from the loose components.

    Seal the 2 styrofoam halves together and carefully place it into the main box. As you will see the top basin is sticking out from the top of the styrofoam. To keep it from shifting in transit, place packaging material around the basin. Again, Instapak is the ideal solution. Make sure to fill small space around the back of the basin.
