How To Use The Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine

The Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine is a wonderful machine for home use if you are looking for professional quality espresso. Here is how to use it:

When the machine is completely off, fill the back water reservoir to the maximum fill line.
• Next, plug the machine in, and turn it on.
• Allow the machine to heat for several minutes until the ready light turns on.
• Use the steam wand to fill your espresso cups with hot water to warm them.
• Place freshly ground espresso in the portafilter, and then use the tamper to apply pressure and twist at 90° to tamp the espresso.
• Lock the portafilter into the machine with the handle aligned with the red dot on the machine.
• Press the brew button, and allow up to 25 seconds for your espresso shot to brew.

Congratulations, you have just successfully brewed a delicious and fresh shot of espresso!
