Overview
A modern upgrade to the Rancilio Silvia, the Silvia Pro X espresso machine takes this classic design to new heights. Similar on its face, but upgraded in nearly every way, the Pro X is one of the best ways around to make espresso and froth milk at home. A dual boiler design with PID controlled temps helps ensure that you’ll always have the steam and the hot water to make your lattes, americanos, and cappuccinos. This level of temperature stability is seldom achieved, and makes it one of the very best partners to the best espresso beans that you can get. Plus, you get loads of additional features like a pressure gauge, auto-on programming, shot timing, a hot water tap, easy backflushing, soft pre-infusion, and more. If you’re ready to take your home espresso game to the next level, the Silvia Pro X might just be the machine for you. Note: Machine comes with a double-spout portafilter, bottomless sold separately.
