    As I get the grind/dose/tamp right I feel there is quite an improvement, though Silvia far surpassed the Breville Cafe Roma.
    It is of course subjective.

    The jump from Breville Cafe Roma to Silvia is far greater than the step between Silvia and Giotto. (the law of diminishing returns)

    I hope this helps

      Sure does, thanks dumiya.
      My mind is pretty well made up anyway, and I am coming from a Gaggia Classic, so I think the step up will be a little larger then the silvia up. Good to know that there really is a difference but!

      Cheers

        Hi Ona,

        My view is that a Silvia godshot is relatively close to that of a Giotto (or any other great HX/dual boiler) godshot. The difference is that youre shooting at a much larger target and that the bullseye is a heap larger as well....

        IMHO, that and ease of use make it well worth the extra spend

          I think Chris is right there but I have to add the grinder makes a big contribution as well.  I just cant get the same quality from my old Mokita compared to the VBM/Mazzer mini.
