Know before you buy
The Silvia V6 is a semi-automatic machine, meaning it requires a learning curve to master manual milk frothing and dialing in your grind. However, its robust construction and consistent performance make it an excellent choice for anyone serious about learning the craft of home espresso.
Yes, the Grinta features 50mm flat burrs and a stepless adjustment system. This allows you to make micro-adjustments to your grind size, which is essential for achieving the perfect extraction and flow rate.
The Silvia V6 features a 300ml brass boiler that heats up relatively quickly. While it is ready for use in a few minutes, we recommend allowing the machine to warm up for 15 to 20 minutes to ensure the portafilter and group head are thermally stable.
No, the Silvia V6 is a single-boiler machine. You must pull your espresso shot first and then switch the machine to steam mode to froth your milk.
Regular maintenance includes backflushing the group head with a cleaning detergent, descaling the boiler periodically depending on your water hardness, and cleaning the grinder burrs. Keeping the machine clean is essential for maintaining the flavor quality of your espresso.
Yes, this bundle includes the espresso machine, the Grinta grinder, a professional-grade tamper, and the necessary filter baskets. You will just need to provide your own fresh coffee beans and a milk pitcher.
