Re: Rancilio Silvia 09
Fair call MM. I should have explained my recommendation better ..... JJ could spend $150 now then when hes ready to and can afford it, upgrade to a Rocky or better.

), but with a fixed budget of $800 you would have been better off being advised towards the Rocky and a cheaper machine like a Breville Ikon or a Sunbeam EM5900 and changed the baskets. Or got a siphon / plunger / dripolator / Presso / aeropress and saved up for the Silvia. Good espresso relies far far far far more on fresh beans, correct technique and a good grinder than the machine. Unfortunately it looks like the supplier was far more interested in making a quick sale than giving you the right advice.
