    Many threads on this one. Available from coffeeparts....NB an 18g basket will not fit a silvia group handle....You will need to buy a deep basket (noninally rated at 14 g but more like 21 when I dose one )

        Hi Jono,

        If you have any luck finding the threads, please let me know as I certainly cant !!

        I too had that problem but since I fiddled with the clips holding the water tubes going into the tank, that sound went away. It could just be the clips touching the side of the panel of the machine and vibrating, giving out that sound.

        See if that fixes it for you...

          I have this with my Napoletana and it only happens when the boilers not completely full. Bleed the boiler (hot water switch on with steam wand open), then close it once water comes out so the pump goes quiet, then turn off the hot water switch) and see if it stops it.

                I always thought it was Ms Silvia singing to me to let me know that shes ready ;D Just like the mythical siren song, it draws me closer. Luckily not to my peril tho

                  re the 18g as FC said the 18g needs a deeper basket- I used an old boema one- bezzera will do
                  Really the boema/generic true 14g ones are great and will fit- I had the little basket with my ECM and I think it is the same as what the Silvia comes with. A coffee roaster friend packed both 14 and 18 with coffee and weighed them- the 18 fitted well over 20 and the 14 was fitting 17-18g
                  Either way youll get a richer fulle cup but need to adjust the grind etc

                          so the bezzera part no. 521994 14gr is bigger than the silvia standard double, and should fit the silvia group handle?

                            Yes Jon- its a perfect fit. Another option is the 14g LaMarzocco double which is also deep and fits the standard Silvia handle....

                            Enjoy!
