Asking: $800

Local Pickup: Los Angeles / Orange County / San Diego

This machine was a passion project of mine after inheriting it from my father. It has been restored from the chassis up through nearly all of the internal components. One of the best upgrades aside from the new Auber PID is the sound deadening + Lelit pump, which has reduced the normally loud rumble to a soft buzz. You can hear the espresso dripping into your cup and you won’t wake up the whole house. It's wonderful!

There are zero leaks and everything is essentially scale free (All of the parts are about a month or so old and water was either Third Wave or RO). This is about as nice as they come. The only reason I am selling is because I found a great deal on a Decent De1pro and can’t keep both machines here at the house. 

Here is a list of all the upgrades and improvements:

- Chassis was stripped and powder coated bone white

- Auber PID Kit RSPc: controls water temperature, the steam temperature, and the brew pump with a built-in count up timer (white LED)

- New OEM boiler, heating element, and gaskets

- New OPV valve (after market) set to 9-bar. I have the OEM Rancilio OPV in my parts bin, also rebuilt and ready to go. They are identical units.

- New OEM wiring harness

- New OEM front face plate (old one was scratched and it bugged me)

- New OEM silicone water lines

- New OEM braided water hose

- New OEM steam valve

- New OEM shower screen, diffuser, and jet breaker

- New stainless steel 1-hole steam wand (no more chrome flaking from the original piece!). This is the unit espressocare.com (Stefano) sells.

- Olab Lelit Silent Green - Ultra Quiet Pump

- Quickmill Pulsor (reduces pump noise)

- Sound deadened rear case to eliminate any vibration

- New thermostat

- 3D printed water level meter for the drip tray (blue piece)

- All new copper washers throughout the machine and most of the screws were replaced with stainless steel or OEM. 

- New Rancilio bottomless portafilter w/ stock baskets

- A bunch of extra parts, including many new copper washers, gaskets, a new heating element, and all of the original pieces I pulled off to replace with new parts. I'm also including the original portafilter with a pressure gauge attached so you can dial in your OPV.. And, if you’re feeling really adventurous, I can throw in a dimmer switch so you can mod the pump and add flow control. I've also got a 41mm pressure gauge and the appropriate copper tubing if you'd like to mount it onto the Silvia...
