    Re: Imat Mokita vs Silvia

    I have owned both, and can say that for the few cups of coffee you make each day, they will both be fine.

    The Silvia is the more robust one and has a much stronger steaming capability. If you have used the Imat first, you will certainly not miss anything.........however, now that you are aware that Silvia exists, you will forever wonder if your shots would have been better if you had a Silvia.......

    Now Im wondering if my shots will be better with a Giotto, etc. but Im making fewer cups than you, I simply could not justify the cost.

    Cheers

      Greg,

      The turbo frother on the Nemox Dell Opera at least is actually a full metal piece that screws onto the wand itself. Removing it just leaves you with a drastically shorter open steam wand pipe with no tip.

      I believe some earlier or other variations of the product had the removable turbo frothing device which would leave you a decent tip to work with -- sadly not the case for my machine

      Argh, yuk! Im only speaking from my Napoletana experience. Sounds like a replacement might be in order; or you could always get a local engineering firm to make something up to screw on; same length but without the turbo frothery business. Probably cost you $10 or something.

        I just got my Silvia 2 days ago....but the first coffee I poured was tonight. And boy was I impressed by its steaming capabilties. It produced microfroth equal in quality to the commercials Im used to at work....all I have to say is WOW

          I used to have a Silvia and now I have a Bezzera BZ-40P with a 3.4L boiler.

          The Silvia can keep company with any commercial machine in terms of foaming quality.

          Enjoy!
