Hi all,
Currently I have a Francis Francis X1, which my wife bought approx 4 years ago because it looked nice... Coffee shots are inconsistent >
and have it matched with sunbeam grinder em0480. I want to uprgade to possibly a Silvia or a HX type machine. With the Silvia Im wondering if it would a sideways rather than a step up. I mainly make milk based drinks for my wife and myself. Any suggestions ?

. You will get better shots from a Silvia (steaming is great) but after owning one for a few years I still get inconsistent shots and still dream of owning a HX. This would be more due to me than the machine. But if you have the budget for a HX I would seriously think about going the big step now. Dont forget about the grinder, I would recommend an upgrade in that area too.
