  • Are they that much better then? I’m really a newb to all this. The classic seems to be the go-to machine as the ideal between pro features, consumer price point and decent build quality, I have seen the Rancilio mentioned but hadn’t really paid it any attention.

    I want a decent machine and a decent grinder than can basically grow with me as I improve my brewing skill. I’ve always been a believer in buy the best thing you can afford and buy stuff that’s built to last.

  • They’re certainly screwed together much better, extraction-wise there might not be much between them but the heavier weight of the Silvia lends itself to better thermal stability which helps consistency. There are a few users here, some may have owned both. I’ll leave them to chime in.
