Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine

After owning numerous cheapo machines purchased from discount stores, i finally decided to spend the cash and buy a good machine. After doing some research i settled upon this machine based upon reviews i found on-line. I love it. It takes a little bit to figure out the routine to get a great shot...but once you figure it out it's pure crema. My wife was cynical at the machines capabilities...and thought i was paying too much for a machine. She is now a believer. A great machine, solid, great design and looks - I'd recommend Silvia to anyone.
