Best praise vs top criticism for Rancilio Silvia Pro X
“I started with a Flair and 1Zpresso Pro and felt that I was making good espresso with decent consistency. Then I upgraded my machine to a Rancilio Sylvia Pro X and my shots got a little better. I finally got tired of hand grinding so I picked up a Eureka Minion Silenzio and, WOW! Not only are these shots better than anything I previously pulled, they are super consistent. I can pull shot after shot after shot and they all come out amazing, and the same. So to answer your question, it’s consistency. Consistent grind size, consistent heat, and consistent pressure. Precision is expensive. If you have any variability in any of those then you will have variability in your shot.”
