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.
We'll happily share our tips on getting the most out of the Rancilio Silvia, but if you want to use it like a pro enroll in one of our home barista courses.
Why buy Rancilio Silvia from Jetblack Espresso?
Here are just a few reasons:
- You will be able to backflush your Silvia and not invalidate your warranty - few if any retailers in Australia will allow this and backflushing is, in our opinion, a vital maintenance task. Look after your Silvia and we will look after you
- If you decide to upgrade the Silvia in the future with a PID kit installed by us you will not invalidate your warranty. A PID kit is not necessary, but many enthusiasts choose to add one to get precise control of brew temperature. As far as we know, we are the only retailer in Australia to offer this service without invalidating your warranty.
- We know the Silvia inside and out - we can show you how to get the most from it. Enquire about doing a course as part of your Silvia purchase and save money.
- We provide after sales service and support. We are not an internet only "box shipper"
- We have an actual retail outlet in Sydney where you can demo a Silvia before buying and drop it back in when it's time for a service or should anything go wrong
- The Silvia is fantastic - but it's NOT for everyone. Talk to us and we'll let you know if you and the Silvia are made for each other or whether there is another machine more suitable
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.
