Consumer Espresso: Rancilio Silvia
Previous Product	Consumer Espresso	Next Product

A true benchmark machine, this machine made Rancilio a lot of money since it was introduced in 1998 - it has become the standard against which all other consumer, single boiler machines are measured against. Currently in its 3rd revision.
