I need coffee to wake up. After quickly wearing out an inexpensive espresso machine in 2007 I decided to buy an Italian espresso machine with the hope that it would last awhile. I hate throwing stuff away, adding to the garbage pile. I chose the Rancilio Silvia based on reviews and, I admit, its good looks. A simple silver box. It has proven reliable, making me a latte or two, sometimes three, almost every day. I also bought its companion, the Rocky doserless grinder, which is heavy and solid but has been a bit less reliable as I've had to open it up rewire it to get around a broken on switch.
