Perhaps one day I will own an expresso machine. And but so, in the meantime I guess posting about them on Tools and Toys will have to suffice. I have it on good authority that as far as home machines go, the Rancilio Silvia is the best of the best for the price range. Don’t waste your money buying something at Target or Starbucks that will make crappy shots and break in few short years. Buy something sturdy and wonderful (and make sure you have a good burr grinder to go with it).
