Overview
Take your home espresso to the next level with the Silvia Pro X! Built on the decades of success found in the original Silvia, the Pro X expands on its predecessor's home coffee promise with a dual-boiler design and a PID temperature control setup borrowed from their top-of-the-line commercial machine, the Rancilio Specialty. Unique to the Pro X is its optional steam boiler design that prioritizes the temperature in the brew group first. This focus on temperature stability promises a best-in-class ±1º temp variance between shots. Packed with every nicety you could ask for—like auto-on programming, a pressure gauge, a shot timer, auto-backflushing, a hot water tap, adjustable soft preinfusion, and a soft-touch spouted portafilter—the Rancilio Silvia Pro X brings quality espresso to your kitchen that's hard to beat. Note: Machine comes with a double-spout portafilter, bottomless sold separately.
