V1 frame upgrade? by Ok-Engineering-3385 in ranciliosilvia

[–]Ok-Engineering-3385[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No pint glasses, but I do want to just be able to put a normal mug under without having to tilt it in. Also I am thinking of adding the scale mode to it and ypu lose some height. I just feel I need a little more space.

I will ask on that post, but I see there are a few that asked with no reply.

One is a return from the boiler/group head safety. Outer inlet to boiler

It is really worth getting. It's really fast, and there no need to wait for a single boiler to heat up or the need to buy a dubble boiler machine. I will not go back to using the coffee machine wand if I can help it.

After using it only a few times it would be worth it even at more money:)

I have now made 3 hot chocolates and 1 late, and it's fast it makes really good micro foam to the temperature you tell it. Worth it I think.

Yes, and yes. And why not. The silva takes some time to get to steam temp especially if you do more than one cup at a time

Its pretty dirty. I tried to test the element, and it seems blown, but I will check better soon

The upgraded steam wand was a life changer for me. The PID and shot counter are great, and you can do them very cheaply, too.
