The Rancilio Silvia V6 is the sixth generation of Rancilio’s single-boiler espresso machine. This $900 hunk of stainless steel is designed to provide espresso enthusiasts with a solid platform to pull barista-level shots and make coffee-shop-quality milk drinks in their own kitchen. And to look good doing it.
While it’s very pricey in the U.S., the Silvia V6 offers premium looks and construction, and is built to stand the test of time. Its steam wand is excellent, and it produces beautiful espresso, although you’ll need to know what you’re doing.
