The sleek unit blends the professional performance of Rancilio espresso machines and the robust simplicity of the Silvia. It now comes with 2 independent boilers, a digital display, 2 Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers for temperature stability and a wider range of coffee solutions, so you can brew like a barista at home.

Silvia Pro vs. Silvia Pro X

The Silvia Pro has now become the Silvia Pro X. They are very similar machines, but the Pro X adds a couple of interesting extras.

The Silvia Pro X adds variable soft infusion. This allows the coffee puck to be saturated at a lower pressure, reducing the chances of channelling and improving extraction. This is a feature available on some of the top commercial espresso machines, so will be one that espresso aficionados who like to tinker will appreciate.

The Pro X also includes a pressure gauge that allows you to monitor the pressure at the boiler, an important variable in espresso extraction. The Pro X also includes an RS1 ergonomic portafilter handle of the sort that you find on some commercial machines.
