Machine Overview

The Rancilio Silvia M is priced at $900 and is categorized as a semi-automatic espresso machine, targeting beginners. In comparison, the Profitec Go is slightly more expensive at $1059, also designed for beginners but offering a robust alternative for those interested in quality. Both machines are made of stainless steel and have been recognized for their user-friendly operation.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Rancilio Silvia M has a brew boiler capacity of 0.3 liters and utilizes a rocker switch for activation. The heat-up time ranges from 5 to 15 minutes, using a single boiler system. The Profitec Go, on the other hand, features a larger brew boiler capacity of 0.4 liters, activated by a button, and shares a similar heat-up time of 5 to 15 minutes while also operating on a single boiler system.

Features Comparison

For features, the Rancilio Silvia M does not include an auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, or steam pressure gauge, but it does provide a hot water tap and has a steam wand. The Profitec Go, however, comes with an auto shutoff feature, a boiler pressure gauge, and a PID control for temperature management, making it slightly more advanced in this regard. Both machines are equipped with a solenoid valve and a steam wand, but the Profitec Go boasts additional features like no burn wand and a shot timer.
