    Re: Rancilio Silvia


    I should have added:

    It doesnt matter which machine you choose, so long as you are satisfied with the results.

    Human nature being what it is you/we/me will never be satisfied - thats what makes for progress ;D

          The Silvia will outlast the Sunbeam. No question.
          i second that!

          You WILL get good shots out of the sunbeam(when its not being repaired), alot of ppl back the sunbeam......but more back the silvia, 10 fold.

              Ive said it before but, after 10 years of 6+ Coffees per day, every day, I resold Miss Silvia for 68% of my purchase price. Maintenance during that time was limited to descaling and group seals.

                Thats why Im looking at one if my Ruddbucks come thru. Got a quote from a sponsor tonight. The info on this site has been very helpful in me reaching this decision. $740 for a 2008 machine with heaps of extras thrown in. Regards.

                  And Charlie, may I ask which sponsor did you get this info from? Does 740 include postage?

                    No, no postage. I live in Melbourne so its strictly pickup.

                      Dont forget youll need a good grinder as well... Otherwise your Miss Silvia will become Mrs. Grumpy Silvia.

                          Yes, I do expect it (the 6910) to outlast the Silvia and to have a greater resale value.But the bottom line should be about producing enjoyable coffee
                          Hate to say it Rusty, but I very much doubt that. There are many owners on Sunbeam 2,3,4 and 5 but no owners on Silvia #5.

                          Although the Sumbeam may have more features, its an appliance and will eventually fail and require costly repair. On the other hand, there are original Silvias still kicking.

                          Also, Im yet to have a great espresso from a Sunbeam. I have from a Silvia.

                          Lastly, I suspect that we may the Melbourne site mentioned, given that both members have been in contact for P&A

                            Hi Chris,

                            I must be under caffeinated ;D

                            Of course I meant to say the opposite - Silvia is built like a tank and will outlast the Sunbeam by quite some years

                              Hi guys

                              Meanwhile, anymore thoughts on the Silvia vs 6910?

                              Would appreciate more feedback as again Im fairly new to this.

                                Hi cyv there isnt a lot of second hand Silvias due to their popularity and quality. The choice is ultimatley urs... Both make coffees, but like a BMW and a commodore but are cars and drive but one is far better quality, will last longer and and resale for more.
                                Go to a sponsor and talk with them and try it, and go to Myers and try it and then make ur decision. Ultimatley the choice is up to u.

                                Enjoy the espresso journey!! ;D ;D
