Rancilio Miss Silvia V6
Good Points
- Very good milk frothing score.
- Has a 58mm commercial size filter basket.
- Adjustable pump pressure
- Although manual machines are more complicated and require more practice to make a good espresso, they allow for more customisation and control.
- Comes with blind filter for group head cleaning.
Bad Points
- Only OK ease of use score.
- Holds a lot of water underneath the filter in the portafilter, difficult to take out filter to release this water. Otherwise, 5 or so mL will pour out.
- Drip tray is terrible. Not only is it very small, but it actually is separate from the cup tray above it. It is essentially a small tray that sits underneath the cup tray, it doesn't reach the height of the cup tray and there is no floating warning that it's full like on other units. It's only obvious once it starts overflowing and you find water below the machine. Even then, when you remove the cup tray and try to remove the drip tray to empty it, it has to be tilted slightly to take it out, meaning that if it's even close to full, it'll pour over the sides while you remove it.
- No milk jug supplied.
