- Hello Guys,
here's another workflow on my rancilio after 7 month on loving espresso.
If u have any tips, let me know.
If u have any Questions, let it down in the comments.
Thank u for watching! :)
Nice steam on that boy, my GCP decides if it's latte or cappuccino on it's own depending on the day lol
Great setup. Wish I could get my work area as neat as you have this one. And I love those towels, ...
great video and addtional info in replies to comments.. keen to test this workflow out in the morning. much love from australia :)
Smooth 👍
Would you say that an electric grinder over a manual one saves time or does it not matter with temperature surfing as you have to wait for that anyways?
what is the grind size you’re using on your grinder?
If i wanna make 5-6 Californi cappuccinos back to back.can i do this in this machine
Hoi Jan. I live also in Netherlands. How long have you had it and is it expensive for maintenance? I am considering this as it has no plastic parts other than the water reservoir .
Bravo 👏
Hey! Loved the video, I’m struggling with finding the right grind for my Silvina, I bought the Rancilio Rocky for my grinder, but I’m getting close. I have a question: how do I look online for the little shaker/stirrer thingy you use after grinding?
Hey! Thank you for your nice words. You can find this here amzn.to/3J7jWdW . It helps my shots a lot!
Not bad. I think the distributer spinny thing is kinda useless. If you wdt with the needle tool, your grinds dont need to be squashed twice. Id chuck the spinny distributer and get a tamper with a spring so you get consistent tamps. Also recommend getting a magnetic funnel. I have a rancilio with a pid and a niche zero
That tamping station directly under your steaming arm would last about 5 seconds for me. I'd have it on the left for sure. Cool gear though.
Hi, love your workflow! Nice video. May I ask if you’ve modified the shower screen or something else around that area? It seems that the flow without portafilter is much much more even than mine. Thanks!
Hey mate, i hope i can help u with that. A loud noise occurs when not enough air has been sucked into the milk or you have too little steam pressure. The first thing you should always do is blow out the steam lance. This will give you a dry vapor. If you then want to froth the milk, submerge the steam head slightly and give it full throttle. Then you lower the pot a little and suck in air for a moment. then lift and swirl. End :)
@@EspressoTobi hey Jan, your reply comment about the milk frothing is in another comment thread, not this one.
I bet he has an IMS shower screen, I replaced the original one with an IMS shower screen and it is much better quality
Hi, your videos are incredible. Can you make two cappuccino in a row on this coffee maker? I'm worried about whether she has enough boilers to make 2 milk drinks. Perhaps you can recommend some better options up to 1000 dollars.
Hey u can follow me on instagram @dayli.coffee.spot . I will do there some cappuccino in a row ;) I can also recommend the bezzera 10 or the rocket appartamento for a few drinks in a row. But they are a bit above 1000dollars.
Pleasurable.
What is your yield? I see you're using 18 g coffee to start, what do you output? 36 g espresso or more? It seems like some people suggest 2:1 ratio and others say target 1.5 - 2 fl oz.
Also, what is the brand of your distributor, tamp, grinder, cloth and beans?
hey thanks for your comment. Usually i try to get a 1:2,5 ratio. So i take 18gr. of coffee and the output is 45gr. I pull this over 23sec. Thats perfect for my beans. But what ratio u need depends on your beans.
My distributor is from "motta". My tamp is the original one frome rancillio and the grinder is from Eureka (sepcialita).. My beans are from a local roaster called "Schamong".
greetz
2:1 is very strong. Maybe for a double shot to be used in a milk drink (like a flat white, because cappuccino- at least in Italy - requires a single shot).
But if you drink espresso you’d probably go for higher ratio (usually Italian espresso is 7 grams for 20 grams in the cup). If you go lower, we call it a “ristretto” and it’s very intense.
Nice video, one question, why do you blow a bunch of steam out of the steam wand before steaming the milk? I've heard that you should do it afterwards (with the hot water button on) to relief the pressure and cool the boiler down, but you're doing it before. Why?
Cheers
at 6:38 hes still got the steam button on. should be turned off immediately once the milk is done. and after a purge.
Hi @Espresso Tobi, nice video!
What basket are you using in your portfilter please? Is it the original that come with the machine?
Hey mate, yep, that's the original one. The filter is perfect worked. But today I prefer bottomless for the better optical control. U can buy these from rancillio.
Ok thanks for answering and sorry for my bad English btw, i just receive my silvia v6 black edition but after 1month I still cannot manage to have a 25/30secondes extraction, the longer I get is 18 sec for 14g in the original double basket. Before buying a bottomless portfilter I wanted to have ur advice maybe. Just to let you know I'm using fresh quality beans with a fine expresso grind from a roaster and I use all the barista tools 😅. (wdt temper etc etc) any idee?
He asked about the basket, you told him about the portafilter. The larger basket that came with my machine holds 14 g. But you can get a larger basket that holds 18 g.
@@anton6140 different beans need different grinds. You need your own espresso grinder. Also, you can't fill the basket too full, there has to be enough headroom. The tamped coffee level needs to be a few millimeters below the groove at the top of the basket. Very important.
nice video but ive heard that when you want to make cappucino or latte on the rancilio silva you should start with steaming the milk first. But maybe you did dome mods idk.
Heard the same. In fact, that's how I do it. It's quicker to cool down steam temp to brew temp, than to heat up.
man my portafilter spout is crooked on mines got from the mail last week..been trying to tweak it and still end up crooked lol..where did you get your distributor and funnel?
Hey man. My distributor is from motta (italy, 58mm). i can recommend the funnel from coyooco.
Nice vid! Neat flow! Quick question, do we need to refill the (brass) boiler (inside the machine) after each extraction to avoid it from running dry? I’ve seen some turn on the hot water key to refill it.
Hey thank you!
The machine automatically refills the boiler with the integrated pump. You don't have to do anything other than let the machine fill up completely the first time you fill it up
@@EspressoTobi How do I let it completely fill up? Just press the button and wait until the light goes off?
@@sciencescience9102 yea that’s it. U fill the tank. Turn it on. And then u wait until the lights are constantly on
@@sciencescience9102 The pump doesn’t turn on when in steam mode (hard to create steam when filling a boiler with water). So after steaming you do need to run water either through the group head, or through the steam wand (no big difference, but the steam wand is preferred by some as it has a higher exit point on the boiler and thus results in a higher refill). If you don’t, you will run boiler dry and damage the heating element like you wondered.
@@caleballen5637Thank you so much for your tips! It’s over a year into my espresso life, and I’ve been totally enjoying my Silvia and coffee 😊
How long does it take to heat up the boiler for milk steaming after pulling a shot?
1min 30sec.
Hello may I ask something?
Is the tamper the stock from Rancilio? Why does mine has a black frame around the bottom metal part?
Hello my friend, its not the original one. But i dont have it anymore and cant tell you where it was from :D
How many shots can you pull in a row on this machine? Trying to decide between this and the pro version.
As many as you want. What should be limiting you?
Nice vid! I just got my rancilio and the flow of my shots seemed to be flowing fast. Did you adjust the pressure valve?
Thanks man. No i didnt :)
You’re probably grinding too coarse: have you tried to set your grinder a little bit finer?
Ps if you use grounded coffee, there’s very little chance you get the flow right, even if the coffee has “Espresso machines” on the label…
I am having a similar fast-flow issue on the V6 Silvia. I have not adjusted the pressure valve but, if you find that helps, please respond here. In the meantime, I will keep playing with the grind to try and improve. I even had a local coffee shop grind a few shots worth of beans for me using their espresso-grind setting and got the same fast-flow thus far.
@@SDGabeP you can place a puck screen on top of the ground coffee in the portafilter. But I'm always of the opinion you should practice until you get it standard and only when it works the technique verb
Are you using the stock basket? I have trouble fitting 16 grams in it, let alone 18. I know some folks have trouble fitting larger baskets in the stock portafilter, curious if you are using an aftermarket basket.
Hey, yes im using the stock basket. its close with 18gr. but i changed the screw in the shower to a grub screw ;) give it a try.
Hey! Just dropping in : you maybe should clean your grinder. My specialista is grinding the same amount in around 7 seconds… Nice workflow btw!
Hello there. 😋 it’s maybe depending on the beans. My beans are very dark and fresh. My grinder needs 16secs on day one. Idk why it’s that slow. I have a 1:2 brew ratio in 23-27 secs. The espresso taste superb. I will try to make my specialist faster. Thanks for the comment. Greetz
Hey man. I followed your advice. I changed grinding discs. Now i grind in 8sec. 18gr.
Nice setup! What was your yield? I normally do 1:2 ratio and go with 18g as well. Although I like the naked portafilter to watch the extraction. Also wanted to ask, what beans and roast can I go with to get the most crema? I've realized the fresher the bean, the better, but I'm not sure if the lighter roast and finer grind might get me there. Thoughts?
Hey mate, thanks for your kind words! At the moment i go with 19,5 gr. and a 1:2 Brewratio in 28 sec. But this depends mainly on the beans i use. Im from germany and got a realy good roastery near by (Schamong coffee). I use a 20 parts arabica and 80 parts robusta mix. U will only have a realy good crema if u have fresh beans. With robusta its more easier to create a good crema. there is also a cheatersiev out there. They are doppelwalled and you can make a fake crema with that. but i would not recommend this. cheers
@Espresso Tobi Thanks for the input. Cheers!
How do u get that amount in stock basket
Hey! Love you vids. You should copy and paste a list of your specs with affiliate links in the description or comments of you videos. That way i can see where you got them and you make a commission from any sales.
hey thanks for your tips. i appreciate this! Will make this happen in the next videos, if they come :P
der gute Schamong Espresso! 😃
So schauts aus :D !
When I froth the milk it makes a huge noise, what am I doing wrong here?
Someone told me when you walk into a cafe and hear a loud noise from frother. Run awat
The steam tip is probably too deep into the milk, start the steam a little higher, getting the milk to spin as much as possible.
I bought a used Silvia in September. Today I finally get rid of this machine…3 months of study, 2 kg of coffee and maybe 3/4 decents shots. Tried different beans, pressure of tamp, grind settings…nothing…pure frustration. Going for an automatic 😂
the problem is often the grinder, not the machine :)
Dont you enjoy the process 😂 ? The reason why i bought this machine is like cooking food, probably you wont get the best result but i love it
Good grinder + fresh beans (not supermarket) are super important
Great video, your editing and shots have improved really well from the Rancilio pro workflow. Good work!
What made you switch from the Pro?
Thanks for your nice words mate. I dont had a Pro. It was the normal V6 Black Edition. If i had the pro i wouldnt switch the machine. I want to make the milk without waiting for the one circuitststem. Thats the reason why i changed the machine. But if its ok for u to wait the 1-2min. before steaming its absolutly fine. i mean the two circuitsystems are instand 600$ more expensive :D
Using the LID of the hopper as a weighing tray.... Is this a genius move or what
I did that too. Its the easy mode :D
how many grams of coffee u use?
18 grams
Hi there! I'm loving your setup and i kinda reflect on getting the exact machine & grinder after more reasarch and budget constraints. I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind:
1. How much do you spend between the moment you open it until it reaches the optimal temperature?
2. How much do you wait between after terminating extracting and starting the steaming process? I mainly drink milk based;
3. Have you configured your OPV to 9 bars as supposed to 12 bars which is the pressure that it comes from the factory?
4. Do you have any PIDs installed or wish to do it?
Thanks! :D
Hey !
I can highly recommend this machine for beginners and starters. I will answer your point in the following points.
1. Usually the machine is rdy to extract after 15 min. But to have the optimal temperature in all parts of the machine, i wait 20-25min.
2. Thats the only thing, that make me bought a double circuit system. After extracting the espresso, u have to wait 1,5 to 2min. Then you have to drain the condensation. And then u can steam ur milk. I think for this prices the machine is awesome. And the steamingpower is also impressiv. But if u dont wanna wait this 1,5-2min, u have to invest ca.600$ more :D
3. i did nothing on the pressure of that machine. its like out of the factory.
4. Nope i didnt. I learnd the temperature surf. The machine is very consistend. If shes rdy with heating.. i wait a 10-20 sec before i extract. If i want to make it fast, i flash for 3-4 sec. Then the temperature is optimal.
But if u are interested in the lelit mara x (double circuit system) watch out. I bought one and will upload a video in a few days about my workflow on it and an unboxing.

@@EspressoTobi thanks for your answer! I mainly drink milk based, but 1.5 to 2 minutes does not sound that bad. Until the time, you clean your portafiltet, get out the milk & prepare. Does the espresso shot get too cold? I don‘t think so since you have had this setup.
Lelit Mara is way overbudget for me ahah. I am craving an Ascaso Steel Duo PID but as my first, the Rancilio looks good too😉.
@@rgav388 I know what u mean :D 1.5 to 2 minutes ist realy not that long and as u say u can do other stuff in this time. An Ascaso Steel Duo is a good machine but keep in mind its a thermoblock and the steampower isnt comparable. But i guess u will watch some reviews of this machine, so u can make ure best decision. But back to ur question. The espresso isnt getting to cold. I warm the cups with hot water, before i put the espresso into it. Than when the espresso is finisched, i put the cups on the top of the machine, because the bottomplate is hot from the boiler. So my espresso is still fine, when i put in the steamed milk.
Have a nice day :)
I always steam milk first on Ms. Silvia. Then you just temperature surf and that is a bit faster. Plus, it warms up the machine and portafilter nicely turning on the steam first.
@@SDGabeP bullshit!
Nice latte art. I find the process a little too much lol I’d be getting impatient for my morning coffee lol
2:43 in other countries people use less water to shower themselves
ok cringe
Then tips it out
Loved the workflow, however, 4 minutes for pulling one shot, I am regretting my decision of buying this, maybe should have gone with an automatic machine.
Come on man, may as well get a Nespresso machine if you’re that pressed for time.
Enjoy the time in the morning to just focus on one thing, making a nice cup of coffee, no phone, no distraction’s, just you and your morning routine.
Alot of pouncing around , I could of made 4 cups in that time with my silvia but hey I'm sure it tastes wonderful.
LOL LOL
NO TEMPERATURE CONTROL!
shot sitting as it goes stale LOL
This was all really good information but you ramble way too much you could’ve cut out about nine minutes of random ramblings and gotten straight to the message
1 hour to make a cappuccino??? order one for Starbucks.
Thank u for ur helpful comment. Coffee is a hobby for me and more than just a means of consumption. It's fun to know the roaster, to prepare everything yourself and to try different recipes. And I would never buy a 6€ coffee at Starbucks that tastes like a 0.5€ coffee. My coffee is of a much higher quality and that also takes time (6 minutes including cleaning). i hope u have a nice day at starbucks :)
@@EspressoTobi 👍😂
This is so gay
