The Rancilio Silvia Pro X takes what you love from the recent Silvia
Pro dual boiler espresso machine and combines them with even more
updates. The machine now includes a RS1-style portafilter with a soft
ergonomic grip that brings commercial grade quality right to your hands.
New colors give the Silvia Pro X a stylish new look, and a pressure
gauge to measure the pressure of the coffee boiler now sits above the
drip tray.
With dual
boilers and dual PIDs — one for brewing shots and one for steaming —
the Silvia Pro X again brings high-end, commercial quality to the home.
Now, the Silvia Pro adds another layer of control and experimentation
with the added variable soft infusion.
Performance:
The newest upgrade to the Rancilio Silvia Pro X comes in the form of
variable soft infusion, allowing users to have a completely customizable
brewing experience. This feature works to open more pores of your
ground coffee so you can reach different flavor profiles, playing around
with the acidity and body that ends up in your final cup.
The
machine will start your shot by opening up and softly releasing water
without any pressure. Only once the set amount of time your preset has
passed, the machine begins ramping up its group head pressure. This
gives you another layer of control, and allows you to really customize
your coffee’s final flavor.
The Rancilio Silvia Pro X was designed with espresso lovers in mind.
Whether an at-home or well-seasoned barista, the Silvia Pro X offers you
some of the best aspects of espresso machines.
For
instance, the dual boilers, a 0.3 L brew boiler and 1.0 L steam boiler,
and dual PIDs allow users to steam milk and pull espresso shots at the
same time. It also means each boiler can be set to independent
temperatures, meaning you can customize the brew temperature for your
coffee and change steam temperature to customize the pressure.
Ultimately,
the Pro Silvia X has all the original bells and whistles from the
Silvia Pro, like the dual boilers and dual PIDs, adjustable height cup
tray, hot water tap and high-performance stainless steel steam wand.
Now, you can add the benefit of variable soft infusion into the mix.
