Overview
Looking for a home espresso machine built like the real deal? Look no further than the Rancilio Silvia. Designed after some of the most iconic commercial machines to grace a bartop, the Silvia packs in durability, reliability, and vintage charm into a footprint about the size of a sheet of paper. This single boiler workhorse stands out at its pricepoint with sturdy steel casing, burly brass components and all-manual operation. The Silvia also manages must-have functionality like a 3-way solenoid, a standard 58mm portafilter, and easy access internals for maintenance and repair. The Siliva's focus on long-lasting service is just one reason it has remained largely unchanged in its decades-long run.
