I thought I'd write a review to sing the praises of the Rancilio Silvia. I bought her in 2005, and she still looks and works as good as her first day. I usually make 2 cappuccinos per day, and have done so for 19 years now (that's close to 14,000 cappos). Nothing has ever broken or gone bad. My early Silvia had a smaller, straight steam wand so I long ago replaced it (by choice) with the larger on Carole · seattlecoffeegear.com
