We laud them, and try to overlook their shortcomings. But lets be honest here, what annoys you about YOUR machine.
If you were to send a report to the manufacturer, or a potential consumer, what are the negatives youd draw attention to and have fixed.
Ill kick off with the Rancilio Silvia.
Ummm
Lets see... :
Thinking....thinking...
No, thats ok....(must be something there....)
Oh yes:-
-Steam knob needs further tightening when cool, otherwise water sprays out when machine is switched on again later.
-Space between portafilter and drip tray needs to be increased to take two latte glasses without having to tilt them.
>
-Drip tray of course. Too shallow
-Cosmetically, polished stainless steel or chrome! would be more attractive and easier to clean (ok, factor in a few more dollars in cost)
-No visible tank water level. A see-through slot at the side and a clear plastic tank would solve that.
--No low-water alarm (ok, added cost, I know)
--160º C steam is a tad too hot :-*
-A little more room for pitcher under the steam wand would be appreciated
Over to you and yours...
(Remember, we want the NEGATIVES ONLY.)
