The Rancilio brand has loads of exciting coffee makers to offer. Today, we are going to overview one of their espresso makers that we have tried and loved. This is the newest update on the Rancilio Silvia. 

Rancilio is originally based out of Italy. However, the North American Rancilio group blossomed from the original in 1999 out of a town right outside of Chicago, Woodridge, IL. They send out merchandise to customers in all 50 states and Canada. The North American branch is just one of 6 other branches to help spread the Rancilio company worldwide. The ability to create these branches comes from the high demand of customers for Rancilio products. 

There is so much to be said about the Rancilio Silvia PID Pro. If you are on the search for an espresso machine that is easy to use, offers exciting features, and is in your price range, then you are in the right place. Let’s not waste any more time and jump right into our full review of the Rancilio Pro espresso machine!

Who is the Rancilio Silvia PID Pro for?

It is safe to say this machine is made for an espresso lover. However, this machine is a bit larger in size, so it is better suited for a kitchen rather than dorm or van life. It is also easier to operate than other espresso options, so if you are a bit challenged in that department, this is a good fit. This machine is also a middle ground in price for those looking for a happy medium in budget.

What Makes This Espresso Grinder Special?

Here are the top features we love about the Rancilio Silvia PID Pro:

  • – PID: As one might guess by the name, PID is one of the top features of this coffee machine. Through internal PID, the machine’s water temperature is monitored to ensure stable temperature readings in both the coffee boiler and steam boiler resulting in the best flavor. 
  • – Steam Pressure: While this is a home appliance, the Rancilio Silvia Pro Espresso Machine offers commercial level steam pressure that can outdo that local cafe down the street with no problem. 
  • – Separate Boilers: This espresso machine offers a boiler for steam and another for water for coffee. Both have PID temperature regulation and are specifically designed for their specific style of heating. 
  • – Display: There is a lot to control with these options. Luckily, the display offers an easy to use interface to operate the temperature, espresso pulling, and so much more with a quick click of a button.
