New machine choice - 2006/12/04 20:27 I am in the market for a new or used espresso machine and have narrowed it down to the Rancilio Silvia, the Gaggia Baby D or the Solis SL 90. I want to thank the people responsible for the excellent info I have found on this site. I have a question about the Silvia. There is an ad for the Silvia on UsedVictoria.com which describes the Silvia as "a now defunct line". Are they no longer making these machines? I ask because if they are discontinued, the question of future parts is a concern.Any other advice about any of these machines would also be appreciated.

Utter nonsense. The Silvia lives!
There is, in fact, a new improved Silvia out there.
I have seen it.

As for what is best amongst these machines you have mentioned?

Dollar for dollar the Solis SL90 stacks up.
If you are willing to spend the dollars, the Silvia is tried and true technology, tank-like and it will last you years, if not decades.

The gaggia holds in own in the middle ground - you cannot go wrong with any of these.
