Rancilio Silvia – Quick Look Portafilter Size: 58mm Boiler Type: Standard Ground Coffee Capable?: Yes Boiler Capacity: 12 oz Pod Capable?: Yes (with Kit) Frothing Aid?: No Capsule Capable?: No Solenoid Valve?: Yes

Best Thing about this machine: The Rancilio Silvia features a 12 oz brass boiler - the largest in its class. This boiler allows you to brew with little or no downtime and still having plenty of power for steaming and frothing!

Honorable Mention: The Rancilio Silvia features a commercial quality three-way solenoid valve, which relieves the machine of water pressure and allows you to brew again almost immediately. This valve also removes water from the coffee puck – making it easier to empty the portafilter.

Best Suited For: Those looking for the perfect combination of quality and performance. The Silvia, while stylish enough to compliment any kitchen décor, features a brass boiler that provides excellent steam pressure allowing you to brew an endless number of cappuccinos and lattes.

Look and Feel: Giving you the look and feel of a commercial quality machine was the intention of Rancilio designers. The heavy chrome plated brass portafilter is excellent for heat stability as well as longevity, while the oversized boiler provides plenty of power for brewing and steaming.

Most Compatible Grinders: Rancilio Rocky, Rancilio Doserless Rocky

Great Coffee Pairing: Lavazza Grand Espresso, Cafe La Semeuse Espresso, Illy Medium Roast Espresso
