Re:Living with the Rancilio Silvia - 2008/04/07 20:49 For Hanielc;
I have the Silvia/Rocky combo - 2 months now. Have used coffee from 3 different roasters and got good coffee all the time although crema was moderate.

Two days ago I got a half-pound of Etiopian Yergicheffe from Cafe Fantastico, roasted on April 3. First time to Cafe Fantastico for me but that is where Colin buys all his coffee so I thought I would try it. All other factors remained the same to see what I would get. WOW. A "god shot." Each shot glass got 1 and 1/4 ounces in 25 seconds - flowed like a light honey with lots of crema and 3/8 inch of reddish-brown crema on the top after the shot was settled.

I add twice the water and a touch of cream - an americano I guess. It was the best ever - smooth, full-bodied - not a hint of bitterness or burntness.

So I am thinking from what you wrote that the "coffee" you get might be worth a look.
One other thought could be the cleanliness of the machine which you didn't mention. Do you follow Colin's recommended cleaning? If it is not squeaky clean it is probably hard to get good results.

Best regards,
Bert
