Sylvia vs. Solis Sl-70

Sylvia
Solis Sl-70

Är det någon som har bra erfarenhet av dessa? Mjölkskummning är av intresse för mig.

There's lots of talk online about what you should do first - steam your milk then brew espresso, or brew the espresso first, then steam the milk. Because a lot of internal parts on the Silvia have changed, I have to wait until the Detailed Review before giving my opinion on this. Basically, if the boiler can transition down to brew temperatures fast enough after steaming (ie, as you refill the boiler with reservoir water running water through the machine's steam wand or grouphead is quick enough to see the water flowing, instead of "flashing" to steam), then I'd always go with steam first, brew later. Many factors come into play when deciding which method to use - how intuitive you are as a home barista, how big the boiler is, how much "headspace" exists in the boiler once you're done steaming (ie, how much reservoir water will be drawn in to refill the boiler to maximum), etc.

I know, for example, that the Solis SL-70, a machine I've long compared to the Silvia, excels in this regard, because the water level in the boiler during steaming was engineered so that, once you're done steaming, refilling the boiler reaches that "sweet spot" where you can brew almost immediately after the boiler is once again maxed out with water. It'll be interesting to see if Rancilio paid this kind of extreme attention to the engineering of their latest incarnation of the Silvia.

Även om jag stendiggare Osacrs design så bör man dock ha i åtanke att den ÄR lite dyrare, ca 1500-2000kr.
