Previous Product Consumer Espresso Next Product

A true benchmark machine, this machine made Rancilio a lot of money in the past four years - it has become the standard against which all other consumer, single boiler machines are measured against.

Jeff Evans (quality: 6.0) 06.28.2011 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: Looks cool.....makes killer espresso.....built solid!
Dwayne Primeau (quality: 0.7) 02.22.2011 Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Serious quality - well built - commercial grade.  Requires desire to learn about proper extraction.  With the right grind and technique - will provide better coffee than all but the best coffee shops
William Hendrix 01.29.2011 Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: The machine is okay but not worth the price. Would not buy an espresso maker on-line again.
Jennifer Cowles (quality: 5.5) 01.14.2011 Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: A must have machine for the common household barista to make a killer latte to impress the friends and family. It's one step away from going commercial.
Stanley Wong 12.29.2010 Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: Great machine to learn Barista skills on.  It will last and last.  Not a good machine for multiple shots when entertaining.
Samurai K (quality: 8.0) 11.04.2010 Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: Silvia is finicky so technique is very important. Get a PID to make you and her happy.
Petey Overton (quality: 1.5) 10.25.2010 Rating: 10.0
Bottom Line: Happy, great machine, well built, nothing wrong, no defects, no mishaps, macine reads your mind, perfection, everyone should own one! grind your own beans. I will roast soon.
Brian Rose (quality: 7.0) 09.29.2010 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Get her hot, give her good coffee and she will more than satisfy your needs (for espresso, anyway).
James Albanese 08.14.2010 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Top of the line construction, monster steam production, no frills hard core espresso machine.  Best in class.  Tempermental at first but love soon follows.
Peter Hinton 08.09.2010 Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: A temperamental mistress that plays hard to get but, wow, does she put out ;o)
Susan Hastings (quality: 1.5) 06.24.2010 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: great machine  has a boiler reset button if it overheats and quits working reset your boiler and it will work like new
Dave Mclennan (quality: 1.0) 04.26.2010 Rating: 5.8
Bottom Line: SAVE UP FOR A REAL MACHINE,  JUST GOOD FOR STARTERS IN THIS HOBBY,  WEAK PERFORMANCE
Henry Townsend (quality: 0.2) 04.16.2010 Rating: 6.0
Bottom Line: Next time I'll get another make.
Michelle Cecile (quality: 6.0) 04.10.2010 Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: If you like rich, thick crema and delicious coffee, even if a first-time espresso machine buyer, this machine works.
Andrew Balfe (quality: 0.3) 03.20.2010 Rating: 4.8
Bottom Line: Good machine while it worked, wouldn't risk another one as it is too expensive for such a short life.  Going back to Gaggia.
Eric Vos (quality: 6.5) 03.08.2010 Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: For the coffee lover who really has a yen for spending hours getting it right.  Well priced and lovely looking.  Not for the impatient who merely wants to throw a switch.
Dennis O'Hara (quality: 3.3) 02.09.2010 Rating: 4.4
Bottom Line: Overpriced
Dean Palmer (quality: 6.7) 01.03.2010 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: Excellent machine that produces espresso as good or better than professional cafes, or even pro/expert machines costing much more. Very impressed with Miss Silvia.
Roni Li (quality: 0.5) 01.02.2010 Rating: 0.0
Bottom Line: Seems like a great machine... pity doesn't work
