Re: 2006 model Silvia
I dont know about out of the box, but when the machine was around 18 months old it started to produce very bitter espresso, and got worse over time. It was tested then at 15 bar, the OPV was descaled and adjusted and the espresso went back to its usual sweetness. The bitterness has come back, so Ill be having the OPV replaced as soon as I can get it back to cuppacoffee.

Re: 2006 model Silvia
The machine arrived on friday and it does indeed have an adjustable OPV. The pressure seems pretty close to 9 bar (judging by the overflow) but Ill check it with a pressure guage when I can.

Re: 2006 model Silvia
Not Vivianne, but my early 2007 model had approx. 10.5bar before adjustment.Originally posted by 436A6A6B7D666C640F0 link=1233795390/8#8 date=1234407619Viviane, out of curiosity, do you know what the out of the box pressure was, before it was adjusted?

Re: 2006 model Silvia
I bought mine in Sep 2006 and the OPV has since been adjusted.

Re: 2006 model Silvia
I thought the adjustable OPV first came out on the 07 model.

Yes Lee,Originally posted by 49606061776C666E050 link=1233795390/0#0 date=1233795390Hi,
Can anyone tell me if the 2006 model Silvia has an adjustable OPV?
I know the 08 machines do, but Im having trouble finding a definitive answer on the 06 one.
Thanks,
Lee.
You will be fine. The adjustable OPV has been in Silvias for quite some time
