The biggest factor in heat up time with machines in this class is boiler/group head configuration. The Silvia group head is offset to the bottom of the boiler whereas the Lelits and Gaggias have their group heads attached directly to the bottom of the boiler. This leads to a difference in heat up time which may be significant to you depending on your morning routine. When we Scaced them, the Lelit was ready* in 10-15 minutes and the Silvia took 30-40. (* by ready, I mean brew water close to 90 degrees. The machines were switched on from cold and left to idle - except for pulling a short shot every 5 minutes to get a temperature reading).
