    Hi all, Im a bit confused - do you ensure the boiler is full by running water out of the group/wand by using the "BREW" or "HOT WATER" button? (Silvia)
    If you have a Sivia the instructions are in the manual. In my copy of the manual (p32) under "fill the water tank" with a few word changes:
    • Release filter handle, open the steam tap, press the main switch and at the same time presss the coffee switch.
    • When water begins to come out of the steam pipe, close the steam tap and allow water to flow from the coffee outlet for a few seconds after which time the coffee switch 3 should be switched off.

    In summary, Rancilio recommends using the steam/hot water outlet AND a finishing flush through the Group.

    cheers,

    Graeme

          Sadie you wont go wrong with a Silvia.
          Make sure you tell Mocopan that we helped you decide.

          I think 5 or 6 ppl have brought thier Silvia from Mocopan as a result of descussions here.

            Sounds about right ;D
            I really love our Silvia. Especially this week. Kenya AA Masai has been a particularly yummy roast this week. 8)

              Country NSW has a new distributor for Racilio gear as well............. There prices are good as well, We bought a KitchenAid K5 mixer from them for nearly $500 less than RRP, nice people to deal with too.

              If I didnt have my Boema I would be looking at the Sylvia too!

              FB :-)

                    Yes you can FB us recommending places is allowed but them comming here of thier own accord and thinking they can advertise for free isnt.

                    So spill the beans

                        Does anyone know where I can buy a Rancilio Rocky and Silvia combo? Sienna and coffeeco both seem unable to supply at the moment. Ive spent months saving up to buy a Silvia but now I have the money they arent available (seemingly).

                            Another New Miss Silvia owner and question

                            Hi ppl,
                            We became the proud parents of a mIss Silvia on Tuesday and have started on the learning curve to a perfect coffee.
                            We purchased the Rocky as well as the local reseller did a good deal. My first question of many to come.
                            When I empty the portafilter after making a cup the spent grinds are a lot wetter than when the dealer was showing me how to do it. What would be the cause of this?

                            Thanks
                            Leigh

                              There are a few options.
                              Could be not enough coffee in the portafilter.
                              Could be the tamp is not correct.

                              How is the coffee and the crema coming out?
                              If it is not very strong, then the grind might be too coarse.

                                Part of your problem could also be that your grind is too fine.
                                Also remember that with different roasts also comes different grinding grades.

                                Nice to hear you becoame the proud Parents, Does she sleep all of the way through the night.... ;D

                                You will also find that the Coffee Grinds left over after you brew are also very good for your garden.
