What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Seattle coffee gear in bellevue makes the best cappuccino i've ever had. Easy to use, easy to clean, big enough to place a short coffee cup under the spout. Since it's single boiler it's a bit cumbersome making milk drinks, but any single boiler is li... Read More
Fun hobby to tune it in.
The pid removes the temperature and time variables from pulling delicious shots without being an eyesore. It helps prevent channeling of the coffee grounds during the extraction process. It sets the desired temperature of both the brewing water and th... Read More
It's definitely a step up from a typical plasticky home appliance and i hope it lasts for years. The machine works beautifully and is well constructed, definitely not a toy like so many machines you see at retailers.

Highlights
Quality
The machine looks great, is compact (which is my number 1 reason not to get a double boiler) and i am very happy with the purchase.
) pair it with the rancilio rocky grinder and solid stainless steel 58mm tamper and you'll be all set.
Just google auber pid controllers for the rancilio and you'll find their products.
Single hole combined with the intense initial pressure makes microfoam difficult to achieve.
Price
If you are buying separately, i advise the lowest price is from the manufacturer and they provide great instructions plus color photos too.
The correct model number is kit-rsns and costs around 200 dollars.
Shipping
If the kit is added later you would still have to add a small shipping charge.
I don't want to have to send it back, pay for shipping, and wait weeks so.
Packaging/appearance
The machine arrived in perfect shape with well sealed packaging.
Competitiveness
You can buy a rancilio silvia on amazon with a controller already installed for 400 dollars more or you can save 200 by doing it yourself.
So this is a fair price if you purchase a rancilio silvia (no pid) for $750 (retail) and add $199 (kit), and $100 (installation... Read More
