There are plenty of similar questions that have been asked and plenty of reviews of those machines. -Dave- back to top kinbote Senior Member Joined: 22 Oct 2007 Posts: 126 Location: MA Expertise: I love coffee Grinder: Cap Infinity Drip: Technivorm Posted Mon Jul 30, 2012, 9:24pm Subject: Re: Best home espresso machine for under $600?   Dave's right, you'll get better info if you re-post in the espresso section. But personally, I'd suggest the Rancilio Silvia. I don't think it's far north of $600 and it's still the best entry-level machine for good home espresso. back to top FrankyD Senior Member Joined: 27 Jul 2012 Posts: 58 Location: Davis, CA Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: Starbucks Barista Grinder: Baratza Preciso/Kyocera...

Albeit there's not much representation as far as reviews go. Although it's hearsay, it's on par with the Silvia from those who've used it. back to top calblacksmith Moderator Joined: 25 Nov 2007 Posts: 5,679 Location: Riverside, Ca, U.S.A.

Roaster: Cast iron pan, gas burner Posted Tue Jul 31, 2012, 6:41am Subject: Re: Best home espresso machine for under $600?   I second the Le Let, my PERSONAL feeling is that the Sylvia is over priced for what you are paying, yes I do own one and use it at work and as a travel machine but it would not be my first choice.... or even third. YMMV!   In real life, my name is Wayne P.
