;D Well, Ive decided on a Rancilio Silvia espresso machine. Ive read too many great reports about this one and I decided to see one in action.
Coming from a Sunbeam Cafe Ristretto (which broke down after giving me more than a year of good service)
I was totally amazed by the quality of the short blacks and the milk texturing was phenomenal.
I loved my Ristretto, but Silvia just has great steaming, I was able to get decent microfoam without too much fiddling around, I had to learn the technique, but the short black was what I really enjoyed. Superb! Excellent crema on the coffee, I would say the crema was at least half of the entire shot. Very rich and velvety. I vow to buy one of these as I dont desire anything else for what Im after.
I have a Mini Mazzer and a coffee bean roaster which does a decent job. Now its just a matter of saving up a little and getting the Silvia to do justice to my quality coffee.
