Review on ☕ Updated 2019 Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine: Stainless Steel, Iron Frame, 11.4 by 13.4-Inch by Jose Pacyga

Absolute disappointment in terms of quality. It looks like it's a 12th grade metallurgical workshop project from the 1960's. Old design, chunky and not sexy in any way. Plates are not aligned. THICK iron frame (1950s or 60s I think. Huge metal screws holding curved panels together. I'm amazed at the amount of positive feedback. Italians are known for their beauty, but not here! Square! Rocker switches. Awkward design where the steam that Pipe has no clearance I had to add a coffee maker stand Expect to carry some water while emptying the ill thought out drip tray That it takes some skill to operate the machine I nailed my second shot it's very very easy Make a great espresso if you think about taking the shot at the beginning of the heating cycle - BUT looks and ease of use are important to me.
