Why buy Rancilio Silvia from Jetblack Espresso?
- Our mission is to have you making cafe quality coffee at home. As you progress on your coffee making journey we'll be there at every step to offer our support, whether it's:
- some know how from one of our barista instructors,
- an accessory that makes all the difference,
- a spare part or service from one of our technicians, or
- an eventual upgrade.
Shop elsewhere and you may just get a Silvia in a box - which doesn't necessarily make great coffee. And you might be left struggling to find a solution because your retailer doesn't have baristas and technicians on staff ...
- We provide your warranty and post warranty service directly (if in Sydney) - it is not outsourced
- We stock consumables and genuine Rancilio parts to keep your machine working for years to come
- If you decide to upgrade the Silvia in the future with a PID kit installed by us you will not invalidate your warranty. A PID kit is not necessary, but many enthusiasts choose to add one to get precise control of brew temperature.
- We know the Silvia inside and out - we can show you how to get the most from it. Enquire about doing a course as part of your Silvia purchase.
Rancilio Silvia V3 Advantages
The Rancilio Silvia home espresso machine is able to deliver cafe quality espresso and steamed milk good enough for cafe quality lattes and cappuccinos. Unlike appliances sold in department stores, it is manufactured by an Italian company that specialises in Espresso Machine manufacture. It has been designed to last, with key components made of brass and stainless steel rather than Zinc and plastic.
The Silvia must be paired with a quality burr grinder, such as the Rancilio Rocky. But in our view, upgrading to something like the Compak K3 Touch is well worth it (if coffee flavour is your primary concern).
It can take a little effort to master, so if you want to use it like a pro enroll in one of our home barista courses.
Rancilio Silvia - A Closer Look
Key components on the Rancilio Silvia are made from brass - the group head, boiler and portafilter. This ensures great longevity and very good thermal stability.
Thermal stability is required to get great espresso extractions. After pre heating the machine, the heavy brass components will not easily move from their steady-state temperature which helps the brew water stay close to the optimal brew temperature.
Because the brew head and portafilter are made from brass, they will have long service lives. This is in stark contrast to chinese made appliances available from department stores.
Tamper Size
It's important to use the right size tamper for any coffee machine. The perfect size for the Silvia is 58.2mm. We have a PreciseFit tamper custom made for the Silvia.
