Rancilio Silvia M V6

If the 30 minute warm up time is an issue for you, consider the popular Lelit PL41TEMD with PID or the Lelit PL41LEM instead, both of which are ready in under 10 minutes.

If you're considering getting the Silvia with PID option, then we'd recommend you look at the Lelit Victoria with factory PID + auto boiler refill.

Why buy Rancilio Silvia from Jetblack Espresso?

• Unlike some other online sellers we are an Australian company. (Hint: a prominent online seller that is based in Europe has a web address that starts with "new" and ends with ".com.au".
• Our stock ships to you from our Australian warehouse - beware of Rancilio sellers who don't have an ABN - your machine will ship from Europe in spite of what may be claimed on their website and you will effectively have no warranty here!!
• 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.
• We provide your warranty and post warranty service directly - 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 V6 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.

This model has the latest removable heating element made of steel (previously copper). The steel element is more resilient than copper. This heating element is screwed in the boiler instead of welded therefore it is easier to remove/replace if required in the future. This model now comes with an insulated boiler and changed indicator lights.

The Silvia must be paired with a quality burr grinder, such as the Rancilio Rocky.

Rancilio Silvia V6 PID options

Buying from JetBlack gives you the opportunity to have a PID kit fitted to your Silvia with a 12 month warranty on the kit and installation.

• PID Deluxe - finer control of the brew temperature, bypassing the thermostat for electronic control
• PID with pre-infusion - brew and steam control through PID, with addition of pump activation for pre-infusion.

Other Machines to consider?

We also sell other brands so if you're considering your options you should also look at the Lelit range. It particular, the 41TEMD with PID controller offers more performance for a small additional outlay:

• Lelit PL041LEM (a little more forgiving than the Silvia, bigger drip tray and fully stainless steel)
• Lelit PL042EM with built in grinder save space, dollars and is a cleaner solution than a stand alone machine and grinder
• Lelit PL41TEMD with built in PID controller provides better coffee, more consistently than a machine without PID temperature control.
• Lelit Victoria - PID, auto fill boiler, pre infusion

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 most 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 58.55mm (either flat or convex is fine but we'd probably go convex as this suits a lot of other machines as well as the Silvia). We have a PreciseFit tamper custom made for the Silvia.
