The Rancilio Silvia is well regarded for its durability and simplicity and is an excellent choice for an entry-level espresso machine. 
 
The new Rancilio Silvia V6 2020 Edition model comes with following new updates :
 
-Wood with stainless steel flat base 58 mm tamper
-Stainless steel steam wand and knob
-User-friendly switch button icon set
 
The Rancilio Silvia is a solid, compact machine offering reliability, clean design, and few plastic parts. With a little bit of practice you’ll be pulling beautiful, thick espresso shots with ease.
 
This remarkable machine delivers impressive quality normally seen on much more expensive models. It features a brass boiler, with a brass group head and portafilter. The polished stainless steel housing envelops a sturdy iron frame.
Silvia lets out a rambunctious yet smooth hiss of steam that is easily controlled with a perfectly positioned knob. It’s easy to steam up billowing, velvety micro-foam for macchiato or cappuccino. The commercial style steam wand is solid and easy to clean with a wet towel.
 
The Silvia is a genuine work-horse, with a simple, easy to clean Italian design. To minimize mess, a 3-way solenoid valve relieves residual water pressure from the brew head and moves it to the drip tray. This means the excess moisture is pulled from the portafilter, leaving a solid espresso puck.
