Description
Built to Last
The legendary Rancilio Silvia is perhaps the most well-respected home espresso machine of all time. Introduced in 1997, the Silvia has become one of the best selling espresso machines to date, due in large part to its solid build, reasonable price point, and ability to be modified. The Silvia M is the latest version which adds a number of aesthetic upgrades, an adjustable expansion valve, and a commercial articulating steam wand with a single hole tip.
