uneven tamping or the grind is not uniform enough
Does the thermostat have some sort of big emotional meltdown
The grind is probably too coarse
it takes a bit of time to heat up
heating element is screwed in rather than welded to the boiler
Poor temp control = foul tasting espresso
the rubber feet are just stuck on with adhesive
The drip tray is also a bit unusual
hex bolt that holds in the shower screen is on the chunky side
no drip tray full indicator
the heating light goes off or comes back on
lack of settings could leave you with a steep learning curve
the lack of a pressure gauge
this isn t going to be too harsh
the machine will not be at the ideal temperature for brewing
poor-quality grinder
general usability are not catered towards beginners
The Silvia also does not include a grinder
No cherry-picked units sent by manufacturers
the heating element in this machine can be replaced
this machine could work in a small space
This machine is not for everyone
manual isn t much help in this regard
boiler temp drop too low
it has struggled to keep pace with more modern equipment
this model is not for the faint of heart
this waiting period is a bit like the microwave minute
cheap-feeling plastic in comparison
producing steam requires way higher temperatures
the hot water function is only available after the espresso machine has warmed
the steam wand is uninsulated
with ground coffee and tamp
Variable Soft
an espresso machine with a stainless steel water tank
IV tubing is also sometimes made from polypropylene
filthy water is deposited into the drip tray
spending thousands of dollars on coffee at the coffee shop
not even using WIFI
just 3G
any machine without a PID will have the same problem
Steady Brew is not available on their single boiler machines
The machine has a single boiler
the machine can not be operated when the water warning is on
super sour and watery and sharp espresso
drip tray is a bit of a challenge
too little pressure will make your steam very watery
it really is a nightmare to clean
the handle in the porta filter changed slightly
the drip tray could stand to be bigger
that the Gaggia Classic has is a visible water level indicator
There isn t a PID in sight
s not plastic- it s a limited black painted stainless steel
the orange light next to the switch will turn off
There is no visible PID
s not cheap either
the cheap machine developed a leak around the steam wand joint
coffee type or flow control are usually quite limited
pod machines were too wasteful
Drip tray is warped and its a bit noisy -
stupid design the milk wand is too low to fit a milk jug
portafilter will have a dry coffee puck
the tank does not include a water filter
The control buttons only have symbols on them with no labels
The drip tray is quite shallow and does not have a full indication
the reservoir is not visible
the machine will require a descaling cycle from time to time
Rancilio Silvia does not have an integrated grinder
espresso machine will require a learning curve
it does not stand out from the ensemble
requires a learning curve to achieve the best-tasting beverages
s a software error
old machine was a bit of a minefield
the grind is a bit off
portafilter was a bit shallower than I was used to
the puck never has a screw mark after I pull a shot
