From time to time I like to make small updates about little things which I’ve learnt about my Rancilio Silvia and make a small post for anyone trolling around google. As such the relevant shots for each article aren’t taken for artistic merit but just to jazz things up a little so excuse my dirty machine and dribble

Anthony at Ace Tampers has recently introduced an affordable range of tampers, great for any coffee snob. Mine arrived last week and has proved to make a huge difference in comparison to the crappy plastic tamper which Rancilio provide when you order your Silvia. The plastic tamper which you receive doesn’t properly fit which in turn can affect over or under extraction. I can’t recommend an after-market tamper enough as it properly fits my basket now and pours have improved dramatically.
