While we have carried a bottomless portafilter for E61 brew heads that also did work fairly well in the Rancilio Silvia's brew head, it didn't seal quite as we might like and so there was often a little bit of water leakage over the top that really was just gauche. Rancilio released their own version for their commercial machines that fits the Silvia, so we gave it a test drive. We did notice a bit of water leaking over the top, but nothing like the former model. And the spurting/spraying/mini-geysers? There were a few present in Gail's extraction -- more of a fine mist -- but that's just a result of channeling, baby. Wanna see it in action? Watch Gail demonstrate it on our store's PID-enhanced Silvia.
