Silvia

Have a Rancilio Silvia/Rocky grinder 4 shots a day. In 12 years 1 group head seal and 1 pump for the coffee machine, nothing for the Rocky. Replaced pump/seal myself pretty straight forward. Pump was $65. Think I descaled it about 3 times, back flush fortnightly. Can make cafe quality coffee. Bit of

If you're gonna spend that much money, get a decent machine like the Rancilio Silvia. The thing is totally consumer friendly, you can take it apart, repair it, replace parts, etc. And it's almost totally mechanical, it keeps on going and never breaks down.

I can buy specialty beans almost for the price of supermarket organic blabla beans. So I guess you have to find a better supplier. Also your grinder does the most important part. So I would go (went) for a Rancilio Silvia and then the most expensive grinder your budget allows. Eureka Mignon Libra to

Also ich war vor 10 Jahren an nem ähnlichen Punkt. Damals hat mir jemand vorgeschlagen: Mühle separat! War erstmal ne Graef CM 80. Rancilio Silvia - bestes Einsteigerding. Jetzt df54 als Mühle - ganz neue Welt.

Rancilio Silvia hat mich in deiner Situation sehr glücklich gemacht! Plus halt ne gute Mühle, die es für den Kaffee Geschmack einfach das A & O dann kannst du aus den besten Boden auch was gutes rausholen

I recommend stepping away from the all in ones. They compromise on quality for convenience. Look at, rancilio Silvia and a separate grinder, maybe df64 or niche zero. Almost every time, you’ll get better build quality and espresso quality from a separate grinder and machine.

Man, my Rancilio Silvia with the GaggiaMate upgrade changed my coffee-life completely. Can't recommend enough, though the Silvia is tough to tinker with (not enough room for big hands, had to get my youngins' involved).

Rancilio Silvia with Rocky Grinder. The classic beginners setup for serious coffee (warning, shits expensive).

I had that one. Great one to start on. I moved up to Rancilio Silvia v4. But you’ll love that DeLonghi.

Brew by weight is the best feature. I got it on my rancilio silvia via a mod kit with a 40€ scale. Plain awesome when you can already weight beans and prep stuff for the next shot (if you have friends or gf over)
