Trying to gauge how often such a machine requires servicing (assuming daily usage)? ....will help factor in purchasing...

I've had a Silvia for 5 years (and it was 3 years old when I got it), it has never needed servicing in that time. I've recently refurbished it pending sale, the only things that were replaced were the group surround and the group seal.
Keep it clean, run it on decent water, descale as needed and the thing will last for a long time. They are very simple machines so there's not much to go wrong.

Sweet. I had a Saeco Via Venezia that recently died and it needed bugger all servicing. I'm hoping to get a similar, small yet robust type of machine.Originally posted by Lyrebird View PostI've had a Silvia for 5 years (and it was 3 years old when I got it), it has never needed servicing in that time.

The Lelit PL41TEMD will be a better buy. Site sponsor Jet Black Espresso has them https://www.jetblackespresso.com.au/...lelit-pl41tem/
It has a PID as standard, something the Silvia should have by now, and it has protection against blowing the element with an empty boiler (Silvia doesn't). It's a no brainer to me.
