The Rancilio Silvia espresso machine is one of the most popular semi automatic espresso machines on the market today. Certainly, the company Rancilio has made a top quality product that is able to stand the test of time and still remains a popular favourite amongst espresso connoisseurs. Probably the most outstanding feature is the ability to retain heat which is essential to produce good quality espresso. Only a few other products can compete with the Rancilio Silvia head to head and that is the Gaggia Classic. To understand how the Rancilio Silvia retains heat, you will need to have an idea what components it uses to ensure good heat retention. The first is the brew group. The brew group that comes with the Rancilio Silvia machine is made of chrome plated brass. Brass is a metal alloy that has the ability to retain heat and maintain heat at a very stable temperature. Those who have experience making espresso will know that espresso will only turn out well at specific temperatures with minimal temperature variation. You have to know that most of the time commercial espresso machines come with a chrome-plated marine brass brew group which makes it very hard to find. To find it in a machine like the Rancilio Silvia, is certainly a rare thing. The chrome plated brass brew group also means that this machine will outlast most other semi automatic machines that does not use this same material. Another component that makes it retain heat so well is the boiler. I remember looking at espresso machine reviews of semi automatic espresso machines for other brands and have never come across a boiler the size of the Rancilio Silvia. This means that it has a larger steam capacity that any other semi automatic espresso machines. The marine grade brass used to make the boiler also means that temperature stability and heat retention is excellent. It also prevents buildup of scale that commonly occurs with other machines in the market, hence ensureing longevity of this component. If you want to understand more about the boiler and the brew groups, you will need to go to their main website and download their online manual. The manual should have details on each individual component of the Rancilio Silvia Espresso machine. If you do decide to own the Rancilio Silvia, bear in mind that you will need some time to master the ins and outs of operating this machine. If you are newbie, you will find it a challenge to juggle between all the steps involved in making an espresso machine. But certainly, with more practice and experience, this semi-automatic espresso machine will bring a whole new level of satisfaction not only from the espresso you make but also from learning how to brew great tasting espresso.
