The Silvia holds up to the test of time with its sleek and minimal appearance. Its fast heat up time will allow you to quickly create beautiful espresso or gorgeous lattes whenever the desire strikes. For almost 100 years, Rancilio has been in the industry crafting espresso machines. With the exception of wartime measures during WW2, Rancilio has continued to create and innovate the espresso community since 1927. With the first iteration of the Silvia coming out in an exclusive market in 1997, home espresso was forever changed. Over 20 years later, the Silvia is still the gold standard for longevity and quality in the home espresso range. Simple to use, the Silvia is equipped with 4 rocker switches. Its steam wand is unlike most other single boilers, and can easily create silky smooth milk to impress even the most particular people. Its fast heat up time is due to the compact design and smaller boiler. The Silvia’s single boiler will allow for a conservative amount of counter space to be allocated. With the one boiler heating up water for the shots, and generating steam, it creates affordable home espresso without taking away from the machine’s merit.
