Rancilio Silvia V3 PID

* Stock photo shown not of actual machine*

This Refurbished 2008 Racilio Silvia with Auber PID is in okay cosmetic and good mechanical condition. Traded in by the original owner, this machine comes with 3 months warranty and a full presale service.

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 58.55mm. We have a PreciseFit tamper custom made for the Silvia.
