The New Silvia has three upgrades from the previous model.  

1.  Rancilio made some modest but welcomed Styling Changes including a more stylized drip tray cover and chromed group head cover. 

2. Now available for $79.99 is a Pod Adapter Kit for the Silvia.  For some people this is a good way to get started with home espresso - no grinder needed and consistent results...  (making espresso with fresh beans is still  a much better choice)

3. Inside of the Stainless cover Rancilio added an Adjustable Expansion Valve allowing you to set your preferred maximum brew pressure.

The Rancilio Silvia is one the best single boiler machines in production.  Brass boiler, brass lines and chromed brass brewing head all help to maintain temperature and heat distribution for the perfect espresso & uses a heavy-duty chrome plated brass portafilter.

This is the machine that all home models are measured against.  It simply provides the best performance for the money, hands down.   The Silvia is known for its ability to pour perfect espresso shots with crema.  Reliability and good looks are assured.  This machine is built with many parts from Rancilio's excellent commercial line.

Simple to Use Controls 
Push buttoncontrols -- Professional grade rocker switches let you chose espresso hot water and steam. 

Milk Frothing and Hot Water 
Straightforward chrome plated steam wand delivers plenty of ready steam for milk foam. The Silvia out performs almost every espresso machine under $500 in the steaming and frothing race! 

Quality Brewing Group 
The grouphead (or the component that accepts the portafilter where the filter basket is placed) is made of chrome plated brass. Designed after Rancilio’s line of commercial espresso machines, the Silvia group head evenly distributes heat and reduces “hotspots” for more temperature consistent espresso. It has also been designed to evenly distribute water across the coffee grounds for a better extraction. 

Commercial-Grade Portafilter and Filter Baskets 
Commercial grade heavy-duty chrome plated brass portafilter, with a rugged plastic handle (a single shot and double shot baskets included, 58mm in diameter). 

Commercial Quality Pressure Release System 
Features a pressure relief system that helps reduce splatter if you should inadvertently remove the portafilter too quickly, thanks to the three-way solenoid valve. 

67 oz. Water Tank 
This removable water reservoir can be filled while operating or taken out and filled at the faucet.  

15 BAR Heavy Duty Pump 

Drip and Cup Tray plus Cup Heater 
Stainless steel drip pan and cup try, both easy to remove and clean.  A cup-warming surface on the top.

12 oz. Brass Boiler 

Tough Stainless Steel Body 
Brushed stainless steel construction gives the Silvia an industrial chic look; sleek, functional and unassuming. Inside the housing you will find  a rust resistant steel frame, stainless steel bolts and screws, and only the finest tubing and fittings.
