Based on 1 year's data from Mar 20, 2026 How it works
ruralontario 1.0I have a 23 year old Rancilio Lucy (which is a model they made for a while that housed a Silvia with a Rocky grinder in one housing). Used daily, descaled regularly, has an intank water filter. I haven't bother upgrading to a PID mostly because it's $$$. I do have a smart plug turn the Rancilio on abt 15 minutes before I usually get up to make sure the boiler is ready when I do want a coffee. Parts are readily available and there is tons of information online to help you make any kind of repair you might need to. Highly recommend the Rancilio Silvia (or Lucy or Kathy). Breville are ultimately expensive garbage.
