First up, I'm not a barista. I'm not even a qualified coffee snob. I've had team-builder barista training at Epic Espresso (West Perth), which I'd highly recommend both for the fun of it, as well as the insight into how they produce some of the best...

I've had this coffee machine for over 5 years now, and until a few months ago I was wondering why I wasn't getting great coffee out of it, and whether it needed a service, or something. I googled and watched some video tutorials and found out it needed...

It makes a good coffee, doesn't have the double boilers that a lot of the newer machines do or the dials and sensors that you could get in a similarly priced machine now. Simple and easy to use, though you need to let it sit for about 10minutes to warm...

Purchased this machine because of its fantastic reviews, many of my friends have had theirs for years and very happy. Unfortunately, I have not had this experience and I am obsessive about looking after my machine. In the three years I have had it I...

My version from what I'm hearing was the last one of quality. It needs some attention now (perhaps a new element, but hopefully just electrics, will know soon) Turns out Rancilio have cheapened all components to the point where its not really...

the past 25 years, without success. This machine arrived without a handbook, the Victorian distributor saw themselves as having NO responsibility after the time of dispatch, be very wary of them. I bought a new grinder, tried every possible setting,...

Makes Great coffee .Using freshly ground beans. Spent a long time trying to get it right. Nearly gave up . Realised my cheap grinder wasn't helping. Bought a K-3 Touch.70%better. Added a PID 95%better. (forget temp surfing).digital scales measuring to...

Before buying the latest Rancho Silvia, I read a number of product reviews & almost seemed to say this was a great machine. But I find the relatively small water reservoir, lack of any gauge to tell how much water is in it & the absolutely token drip...
