Rancilio Silvia V3 Single-Hole Steam Tip

Rancilio's Silvia Version 3 was released in early 2009 with a standard three-hole steam tip. However, the company found that in the U.S. market, the electricity differences (110V versus 220V) resulted in sub-par frothing performance.

Since the first generation of machines, Rancilio has switched back to a single-hole steam tip, but if you have one of these first iterations and wish your frothing was a bit better, you might want to upgrade to this single-hole steam tip.
