  • 09 Silvia

    Hi
    We are looking at buying the 09 Silvia from Jetblack, anyone know much about the new model? Is it as good as the 08?

    Also, we are in Brisbane, is there anywhere we go if we have hassles with it or it needs servicing?

    Thanks

    Re: 09 Silvia

    I would suggest you follow up with JetBlack, but experience suggests that they will have an arrangement in place to cover warranty... Would like to think it is not RTB, but you need to follow up with JetBlack...

    Post warranty, there are a number of Sponsors and others that could assist and it could also be the JetBlack agent should he have one...

    As to the New model... The specs look good.. But until there are a few out there and they have been running for a year or two, one can only surmise.

      Barazi in Brisbane carry the Silvia - don`t know if they have the `09 model. Give them a call.
      They service all machines they sell.

        Hi Lozzo,

        Let me be to the point without meaning to offend anyone (especially not Barazi)

        I went there FIRST! But looking at the Barazi website one would assume that they only sell Bezzera.  Therefore - others are thoought of as second best??
        Hey, if a website states many brands and only gives information on one brand what else am I supposed to think?

        Dunno, that is only my assumption given that I did a search on their website for Rancilio Silvia and no info came up whatsoever.  Maybe they do not sell them anymore?  If you can point me in the direction of seeing the info on their website then that would be great - maybe my computer/internet knowledge is not what it is supposed to be??
        :-[


        I had read that they sold Rancilio but that was in a 2005 post so I thought maybe they didnt sell it anymore. That is why I have decided to go with Jetblack, depending on their servicing etc

        I am still deciding and looking but Jetblack is the front runner at this stage.
        PURELY due to the use friendly-ness of their website in giving plenty of info....

            Hi Jax
            I did an email enquiry with them about 8am Thursday morning after reading a lot of posts here - regarding silvia , rocky and a Bezzera BZ07 , had a reply before 9.30am the same morning.. I then rang regarding stock for a Slivia and a Rocky and they had both in stock, i didn`t check on `09 model as i haven `t heard/read of it until after i called.
            They spent some time on the phone with me reagrding pre-loved Heat Exchange machines they have, they asked me where i heard of them and i said Coffee Snobs, they were very happy of that and said i should go down and have a look at their place., wished me a happy easter and a good weekend.
            I was pretty impressed ( i have been in retail for 15yrs ) and after talking to Koffee Kosmo that same day regarding the Bezzera HX machines i pretty much decided i will be getting a 2nd hand BZ99 from them over the next 2 weeks , when i can actually get over there because of work commitments.
            I hope you find your new purchase a pleasurable one.
            Cheers
            Jordan

                Worth mentioning that Jetblack have a great special on the 08 model at $745 and CosmoreX are running them out at $699 plus freight. These are great deals if you dont care about the 09 model specs! Extra cash to put towards a top notch grinder. I went for a Macap M4 grinder with my Silvia and cannot believe the improvement over my Sunbeam 0480.

                Good luck.

                  the Silvia 09 is pretty much cosmetic differences- different steam knob, slightly pf handle (end with logo) and new steam wand now on a ball joint and 3 hold steam tip.

                  no other real differences- some will like them others wont- i brought an 08 model because I dont like the changes (but do like the ball joint steam wand)

                  hope it helps.

                  there are plenty of suppliers see our sponsors<<<<<<<

                      Ive got the 09 Model, nice machine, makes great espresso. Have had no problems, making 1 - 2 coffees per day. Im a bit on the slow side with making 4 coffees, just need to practice more.

                      The only thing I need to do is play around with my Ibertial Challange as I dont think my setting is quite right yet, but hey the coffee tastes great - beans bought from Beanbay ;D

                          Hey mmm, I got it from mod edit- non CS sponsor removed, the 3 hole steam wand is great, makes really nice frothy milk, the foam I get is just like stiff beaten egg whites, perfect for that latte.

                            Nice to see you supporting the site sponsors who subsidise this forum which provides you with opinion, expertise and support. They also would have provided better service and probably could have matched the price as well :

                              Excellent!  I see the vendor taught you how to use it too. ;D
