Rancilio models we've reviewed
Our top-rated Rancilio is the Rancilio Silvia Pro X: the soft-infusion dual boiler, 75/100.
75/100Rancilio Silvia Pro X
The soft-infusion dual boiler
A plain, serviceable dual boiler that pulls smooth, forgiving shots and steams milk while it brews, at a price widely judged fair. Expect a tiny drip tray, coded menus and a steam boiler that needs 15-30 minutes to be fully ready.
Price $2,195
63/100Rancilio Silvia
The temperature-surfing steel classic
A heavy, long-lived single boiler that pulls café-standard espresso and steams milk with real force, once you have learned its temperature routine. It is the wrong machine for anyone who wants to press a button and walk away.
Price $900
