Hey all,
I had been looking for a coffee machine for awhile, and Just brought a 2nd hand Silvia off a member from this site 8-)
It has a digital temp installed into it. I always thought brewing temp is about 94 degs C, but from what Iv read your meant to brew the Silvia at 110 degs C? It surfs from about 89 degs to 116 degs.
So far its making very good espresso. My only (minor) moan is that the coffee isnt as intense (yes intense, not bitter) as im used to. Im thinking the Silvia basket is smaller then normal? You cant updose it either it seems (found this out in my first two coffees!)
Great machine though :-) Any help on the best brewing temp would be good if anyone knows? Iv read the Cheating Miss Silvia webpage to which was good.
