      i kinda did the same. I owned a Breville piece of shit for 5yrs. It did it's thing but it was time for an upgrade so i did a lot of research and ended up purchasing a Rancilio Silvia 3 yrs ago. I recently had to bring it in for repairs as the boiler exploded and cause electrical malfunction. All i can say is that if you do not take care of your machine, it wont last long. Proper care and maintenance is crucial..! I do hope your enjoy your upgrade soon brother as we love ours..! cheers

      @@hachac3907 thank you so much for your reply. The price difference in UK where I am from is not that big between the two and this is one of the reasons I was thinking I’ll spend a little more at the beginning. The Bambino Plus is £350 and the Silvia is £550 but I must say I am intimidated by the Silvia. Would I need to get a grinder right off the bat with the Bambino or can I mess around with pre grounded coffee for a while? The grinder is another deterrent for me, firstly the price (which would be a lot if added on top of the Silvia’s price) and secondly there are so many, it’s hard to know which one to choose.

    It takes rather long to froth the milk.
    When you are finished all the creme of the espresso is nearly gone.
    The Silvia has no temperature stability.
    Temperature surfing is needed.
    Driptray is a let down.
    All in all the Silvia is in badly need of some upgrades to fix these issues.
    For decades nothing has been changed except for some minor updates.

    Well- filmed, but you forgot an important work-flow step for this machine: you didn't check how much water has accumulated in the way-too-small drip tray. If you don't frequently check and empty it, it will overflow. This is a serious design flaw of the Silvia. I use a rectangular 2" high plastic tray on top of the perforated surface, which catches grind spills, and allows for rinsing the portafilter from the brew head without mess and worries.

    Or perform something else or stright away pull the shot steam
    Again clean the portafilter grind pull the shot ,steam an repeat

    • @EspressoTobi
      @EspressoTobi  Рік тому

      Hi, 5-6 cappuccinos in a row isn't possible in my opinion. The boiler will not hold the temperature. You will also have to pull 5-6 espresso and then wait for the steam device to be ready. The steam will maybe last for 2-3 cappuccino. But the quality of the coffee will sink down :D If u plan to make 5-6 cappuccino I would recommend investing like 1500-2000 € for a big two boiler system or a dual boilersystem.

      That was the mistake I was making (pulling the shot first). WRONG - you steam the milk first, it's the only way it makes sense. Wait until the system heats up, steam, purge the wand until boiling water comes out, and by then the boiler has cooled down to shot temperature. It almost feels like it was built to be used that way. When I see anyone pull the shot first, I cringe - they're not purging the wand properly, it takes 2x longer, the coffee will be cold when they're done with the milk, and the milk won't have time to settle/bubbles to turn silky. It's a horrible workflow

      Muss denn jede Tasse immer zu 100,01% exakt gleich schmecken? 🤔" - Es muss nicht jede Tasse exakt gleich schmecken. Aber man versucht eben genau das Aroma etc. abzupassen, das einem am besten gefällt. Das mehrfache abwiegen ist nur dem geschuldet, dass ich zu dem Zeitpunkt des Videos noch keine Maschine hatte, wo ich gleichzeitig beziehen und wiegen kann. Es hilft mir festzustellen, wie viel Leerraum meine Mühle hat und ob ich zu fein oder zu grob gemahlen habe.
      "Machen die Deutschen eigentlich auch mit der Stoppuhr in der Hand Liebe? Und muss ich mich davor und danach dann auch auf die Waage stellen? 🤷🏼" Der Vergleich ist ziemlich schlecht getroffen. Da ich den Kaffee am Ende genieße, müsste ich diesen auf Zeit trinken (deine Logik). Aber so ist es eben nicht. Es wird bei mir auch nicht jede Tasse so präzise gezogen. Es geht darum den Kaffee, also Mahlgrad, Temperatur, Bezugszeit, etc. einzumessen, wie er es benötigt. Danach kann man den Kaffee schneller zubereiten, ohne alles zu wiegen. Wenn er dann irgendwann zu bitter oder sauer schmeckt, messe ich neu ein, denn die Bohnen dünsten über die Zeit aus und verändern Ihre Dichte. Auch ist jede Röstung unterschiedlich. Es gibt einfach viele Fassetten und viele betrachten Espresso brühen als Gourmetarbeit.
      Jedem das Seine. Ich habe vor zwei Jahren auch immer nur Senseokapseln getrunken, bis ich gemerkt habe, was möglich ist.
