I am impressed so far with my new Silvia but one disappointment is the fact that the Stainless steel may not be as high grade as I expected.
The front, back and sides attract a fridge magnet strongly. The drip tray underneath and perforated drip tray cover do not attract.
Interesting, Rancilio cutting costs maybe? or has this always been the case, maybe we can get a few coffeesnobs to do the very technical magnet test on their Silvias to compare.
Ironically the magnet holds stronger to the Silvia than my Chinese made Sunbeam EM6910 but maybe that is due to a heavier gauge stainless steel.
