I recently upgraded and so my v3 Silvia is up for sale.
It really is a great machine, and without doubt one of the best domestic machines for under a grand.
With the PID installed it takes it to another level... (see here or here if you're interested in more details).
...But it basically gives the machine a super accurate temperature control for pulling shots as well as maintaining a constant steam pressure for milk frothing - no need to temperature surf.
This one also has the pre-infusion feature and auto extraction timer.
The machine cost me about £450 a few years ago and add another £200 for the PID.
Comes with original portafilter and an upgraded flat shower screen
Looking for £375 and ideally a local pick up (Brixton)
New price £325
