Re: In need of some Rancilio Silvia Tips
I tend to agree with you Brett, after using a Silvia for a few years it all becomes pretty easy, good shots were the norm, like you say let it warm up, and as far as being too hot, you pick it instinctively after a while and run some water through the group too cool things down a little.
Its a simple well made machine that produces consistently good results.
Ive seen these same questions and answers doing the rounds for the past 8 years, guess we all like to feel weve discovered something new, in point of fact I think the operation of the Silvia has been dissected and mulled over that many time there is very little left to discover.
A Google search for Silvia http://www.google.com.au/#hl=en&sour...23657aecaa0d97 will return almost 41000 hits, reckon its a legend in its own time. :
