The Rancilio Silvia is a single group espresso machine, which uses their own Rancilio brewing group. This brewing group is a solenoid operated model, instead a manual brewing group you more often see on domestic espresso machines. On top of the brewing group is also the small boiler installed, this boiler is big enough for making espresso and frothing up milk with steam. But not big enough to use it for getting warm water.
The coffee brewing process is manually, when you want to start brewing coffee you need to push a button and once you are finished you need to push that button again to stop the action. This has to do that the Rancilio Silvia hasn´t been fitted with a flowmeter/dosing device.
As mentioned before the Rancilio Silvia is in production over 20 years, so you would have various model versions. The 6 versions below are the model types;
The Rancilio Silvia V1.
This espresso machine is the first version of the Silvia series, which was introduced in 1997. This model has the small water tank on the back, from this tank you pump the water into the boiler. This is done with a Ulka vibration pump, the same pump is also used to create the brewing pressure. The boiler is fixed to the top of the brewing group, at the bottom you have the solenoid valve to discharge the drain water.
On the side of the boiler a over pressure valve is placed and a steam valve. With the V1 version the valve had a different type of handle and the steam tube itself could only turn around it’s own axle.
The boiler on the V1 is fitted with a safety thermostat and a temperature control thermostat. This control thermostat turns the 110 or 230V heating element on or off. This heating element can not be easily replaced.
The Rancilio Silvia V2
This model version of the Rancilio Silvia is the second model, this model was introduced in 2000. This does have a lot of similarities with the V1 model. Other design features are the logo on the front of the espresso machine, the rubber grip for the steam tube and a different type of handle for the portafilter.
The Rancilio Silvia V3
This version of the Rancilio comes quite fast after the Rancilio Silvia V2, only in 2008. You can clearly see some differences between the models. The steam tube now can go up and down, the handle of steam valve is also more moder. In line with the handles of their commercial espresso machines.
Other design features are the ring which goes around the brewing group head, made from shiny chrome. The grids have been modernized and the portafilter is their new model, with the Rancilio logo on the end.
The Rancilio Silvia V4
This espresso machine was introduced in 2013, couple of year after the V3 model. This model does resemble a lot of parts with the V3 version. but the main difference is in the inside. With this model the heating element was redesigned. So instead of the that heating element was fixed to the boiler this heating element was replaceable. This heating element sticks true the boiler and is fixed on the outside with a bolt.
The Rancilio Silvia V5
This model of the Silvia came in 2016. Aesthetically identical to the Rancilio Silvia V4 espresso machine but has been updated to comply to EU energy regulations. The boiler was insulated and the heating element switches off after 30 minutes of inactivity. A other feature is that the power and heating element switch has been fitted with a led.
