      Single Boiler, But Still the Best Pumper for the Price

    There really is a difference between using an espresso machine made from brass and stainless steel and all the rest made from aluminum and light guage stainless steel. But except for the Rancilio Silvia, you will have to spend a lot of money. The Silvia is the cheapest serious espresso machine out there. There is only one boiler for both steam and brewing and this is not typical for high end espresso machines. The rest are "heat exchanger" type systems which are a lot more expensive to produce. The lack of immediate steam is a minor irritation for the latte or cappacino fan. Still, the Silvia has a huge following of fans ready to apply the machine to connoisseur levels of espresso making. There are a lot of these machines out there.

    Disclaimer: We are the people that provide 'pid' computer temperature controlled Silvias here on eBay. I've seen almost 600 (SIX HUNDRED) of them here.

    Wide temperature swings of over 60 degrees F are the major cause of complaints of the machine being 'fussy'. With skillful handling, this problem can be reduced, and shots will be more consistent. With the addition of a "SMART" temperature controller, ROCK SOLID brew temps can be achieved, resulting in excellent consistency from shot to shot.
    --------------------------------
    [A rather unpleasant aside: Someone who does NOT like me personally, NOT a customer NOR an owner of any of my products, is taking pot shots at the components we use in our products. Stating, to wit: " . . . cheap $10.00 controllers used in your machines." I assure you, the controllers used in my machines are all brand-new, latest production, provided by Dwyer Instruments, Inc. of Michigan City, Indiana. Dwyer has been providing industrial process controls since 1931: -- http://www.dwyer-inst.com/AboutUs.cfm

    There ARE cheap controllers out there for about $20. They do not look or WORK at all like ours. NOR do we provide USED parts.
    When you see commentary like this, it may be due to envy at our success. Please consider the source. Further consider, if you will, our track record and feedback on ebay, for almost TEN years, dave713.]
    ______________________________________________

    Now back to the Silvia:

    With just reasonable care and feeding, a Silvia can last 10 years or more. Indeed, in August, two OLD Silvias, 8 and 9 years old respectively, were sent here for a tune-up and installation of our 'pid' temperature control system. Other than a minor cleanup, they were both ready for several more years of good service to their owners. (NO aluminum parts to corrode)
    Thanks for listening!
