A solid track record and simple, easy-to-use features is what the Rancilio Silvia offers. Despite the Silvia's lack of flair and unassuming nature, the Silvia has proven itself to be one of the most reliable machines ever built. This machine is popular amongst home baristas as well as technicians because of its extended use. It's no secret that Rancilio Silvia espresso machines have been a staple in the espresso enthusiast community since the late 90s, allowing users to make café-quality espresso right at home.
The Pro X model brings a ton of additional features. A 1-liter steam boiler and 300ml brew boiler offer simultaneous brewing and steaming. A focus on brew temp stability keeps the steam optional, only at pressure when you need it. Dedicated brew and steam circuit PIDs offer excellent temperature management, and can be adjusted to-the-degree.
The Silvia Pro X brings adjustable, low-pressure pre-infusion for improved shot quality. It uses a vibratory pump, saturated group head. This machine runs on its own internal reservoir. A programmable wake-up time lets you set and save the next time you'll need another cup. The Silvia Pro X also features the upgraded stainless portafilter from the Rancilio Specialty.
Customer Reviews
This is for the Rancilio Silvia Pro X
I upgraded to this machine after 10 years pulling shots every day on my gently modded Gaggia Classic. The dual pid dual boiler set up is great. No more temp surfing, and truly excellent steam pressure and pro quality steam wand have immediately enhanced my mourning routine. Gripes so far: hot water from the steam boiler produces about 2-3 oz before sputtering a mix of steam and water out of the spout. This means making a 6-8 oz americano (total volume) requires letting the steam boiler refill and reheat. Not a very big deal but I was hoping for enough on-demand hot water to make a cup of tea/americano more easily. Drip tray is small as everyone has pointed out. The group head flush function is great (hold down brew button for a few seconds to rinse group head) but it only runs ~1.5oz through and doesn’t appear to be adjustable, so I find it takes a couple of flushes for the water to run clear after pulling a shot, at which point you might as well hit the brew button and run a phantom shot. Last complaint is that the machine has an auto wake-up setting but you have to set it every night. A bit lame. Small complaints.
Shots have been very good, but I do need to upgrade to a stepless grinder. My Gaggia MDF is too fine on #1 and too course on #2. Looking to pull the trigger on a new one soon and move my whole Gaggia setup to my office.
Overall very impressive build quality and the dual pid takes so much variability out of the process that shots are much more consistent and off flavors from overheating are non existent. The variable soft infusion is a nice feature, and in general I really like the simple function menu and features. I’m very happy with the purchase and am confident when I have it fully dialed in the shots will be far superior to the already very good shots I had learned to pull on the Gaggia. It feels like this machine is capable of pulling shots across a range of roasts and origins where the Gaggia was best in the more traditional dark espresso roasts. We’ll done Rancilio, thank you for the dual pid dual boiler in the classic package at a reasonable price.
