Rancilio Silvia E – Professional Quality for Your Home

The renowned manufacturer Rancilio presents the updated Rancilio Silvia E, available since 2020. This model brings several improvements that enhance performance, durability, and user experience.

The Silvia stands in a category of its own among home espresso machines. While most brands produce both home and commercial machines, Rancilio specializes primarily in professional equipment. Silvia is their only home model — which means all the expertise, quality, and engineering from their commercial machines is packed into one affordable home espresso machine.
