Can the Silvia Pro X brew and steam at the same time?
Yes. Its independent boilers let you brew espresso and steam milk together. The coffee boiler holds 300 ml and the steam boiler holds 1 L.
Can I adjust the brewing temperature?
Yes. Both boilers have PID temperature control, and the digital display lets you adjust brewing temperature. A pressure gauge helps you monitor extraction.
What does soft infusion do?
Soft infusion wets the coffee puck before full brewing pressure is applied. This gives the grounds time to become saturated before the main extraction.
How long does warm-up take, and how much water does it hold?
Warm-up takes approximately 15 minutes. The refillable water reservoir holds 2 L.
What size portafilter does it use, and how is milk steamed?
The Silvia Pro X uses a 58 mm portafilter and a traditional articulating steam wand. You control milk steaming and texture yourself.
How much counter space does it need?
It measures 250 mm wide, 420 mm deep and 390 mm high, and weighs 20 kg. The housing is stainless steel, with a brass coffee boiler and copper steam boiler.
