With Coffee drinkers making up 79% of the American population, it wouldn't be hard for you to find someone who had had themselves a superior cup of espresso brewed by the famously popular Rancilio silvia Espresso machine. A machine at the very pinnacle of those in the coffee industry. Rancilio is a company that has more than just stainless steel machines that spout forth a frothing beverage. Rancilio has come a long way, and is still in pursuit of making the best cup of coffee from the most accommodating machines possible. They started by producing a long line of top-notch commercial stainless steel coffee machines, then in 1997 a machine came out known as the Silvia. The Silvia was intended as a gift for their best clientele but was such a big hit that they changed their direction and began to offer it on the market as the newest home espresso machine.

Rancilio Silvia has become widely known since then, as the best selling espresso machine for above 300 dollars. The company itself expresses their driving passion for the work they do. Their goals are to create extraordinary espresso. They head the industry, and plan to continue at the top, leading the way to creating machines that meet the highest standards of design and functionality. The company is still owned and run by the Rancilio family, who strive to build upon the ideals and work ethic that the original company was founded upon. With their foundation as designed by Roberto Rancilio over 80 years ago they hope to bring consistency to the dream of making the perfect cup every time.

The Rancilio Silvia espresso machine has just been newly adapted, and upgraded. Fresh out of the box it comes with the Rancilio commercial portafilter, single and double filter baskets, measuring scoop, and throw away plastic tamper. All the instruments of espresso perfection. The other adaptation that has come with the new Silvia is the pod adapter kit, which is of course accommodating the newest and hottest craze on the market, the single espresso pod, as always Rancilio is keeping up with the market, if not ahead of them. Simplicity has always been the trademark of the Rancilio design. The Silvia Is brushed stainless steel with hard black trimmings, a handsome and simple machine. The reservoir is removable, made of plastic and holds about 2 liters of water. There is an on and off switch , a switch for hot water, and a switch for steam mode. And it has a OPV valve on the boiler, this means that the owner can control the brewing pressure exerted on your tamped bed of coffee, its a great new convenience for those a bit more daring about the exact components to their cup of espresso.

Over all, the Silvia is a smart and easy to use machine. It, as all Rancilio machines, has one purpose and that is to make you a great cup of the best espresso out there.
