- neogodless 6mo agoI've bought Corollas for less than that ...
- lostlogin 6mo agoI’ve sold Carollas for less. But, the milage you’ll get on a Sylvia is higher.
- FuriouslyAdrift 6mo agoI am being told by my local coffee geeks that it's Gaggia
- lostlogin 6mo agoI moved on from the Sylvia a long time ago. I just love its story (made from the parts bin as a gift for suppliers). The size is attractive and it’s a little monster in n terms of bang-for-buck. I made ~15k coffees on it and it had one cheap service before it was elevated to ‘The Shelf’ with an Atomic espresso maker.
- zulux 6mo agoGood machine, and you can upgrade it with a PID. And you will have enough money left over to get a great grinder.
- halflife 6mo agoNo! I had this machine, the skeleton is made of iron (the black colored parts), it completely rusted away for me in a couple of years. Very bad design decision on Rancilio. 100% stainless steel or bust.
- lostlogin 6mo agoYeah, that corner rust is a pita. They all do it. I’d put rust converter on it.
- halflife 6mo ago“They all do it” - all rancilio silva, not every coffee machine. Thought to add that context for people unfamiliar with coffee machines.
- lostlogin 6mo agoGood point. It’s definitely a weak spot. I know people who have for the base chromed or similar to stop this. Weird they didn’t address it in the later models.
