This is my first video, making an espresso Macchiato with my Rancilio Silvia. Unfortunately I managed to stand in front of the camera while frothing the milk! The beans used to make the espresso are from Campos, in Sydney. The crema was nice and dark with lots of mottling - unfortunately the camera doesn't show that too well!

This is how I make my Cappuccino with my Rancilio Silvia. I grind my Black Cat Coffee Beans fresh in my Solis Maestro Plus Burr Grinder...then I pull 2 shots of espresso into a nice round cup, topped with fine foam and milk...ahhh the Perfect Drink for me.

I added a Quickmill brew pressure gauge to the machine. After having accidently burned out my ULKA vibe pump, I noticed the Invensys vibe pump I installed had a slower pressure ramp up. Just wanted to share with other Silvia owners.

This is how I froth milk on my Rancilio Silvia. Just after I've finished my extraction of the espresso, I push the steam button. Then i dunk out the puck, rinse the PF in the sink, brush and flush out some left over grounds from the grouphead, and flush out some water from the steam wand, then it's time to froth. It is important that the light indicator does not go out before you start frothing.

Found video! Video of a double shot I was doing on a Rancilio Silvia back in early 2000. The lines on the shot glasses are 1.5oz. I did these videos because someone on alt.coffee didn't believe I was getting a "cm" of crema on my shots.
It's amazing to look back on these today and see all sorts of problems with the shot pull. Still, the Guinness effect was in full effect ;)
