The Rancilio Silvia is one of the finest single-boiler espresso machines on the market for home and office applications. Designed for the serious home barista, the Silvia is loaded with professional features including a brushed stainless steel housing, heavy duty brass boiler, brass plumbing, commercial grade rocker switches, and a chrome plated brass brewing head and portafilter. The powerful 15 BAR pump effortlessly brews thick, rich espresso and the large capacity boiler produces tremendous steam pressure through a commercial style stainless steel steam wand to quickly froth milk for cappuccino or latte. A 3-way solenoid valve relieves residual water pressure from the brewing head and dispenses it in the drip tray when the brew switch is turned off to prevent dripping and minimize mess.
