You idiot, you know nothing about coffee. I am not boiling it, just the water, it's a mini turkish coffee maker and if you've ever had one then you would know how they worked.

@Johanvideo525 - i love it, i mean its still a lot of money to pay for what at the end of the day is a coffee maker. But i don't regret it. I also got the rocky grinder (non doser) which I recommend and the only factor which bugs me is you have to ensure you get fresh beans otherwise it won't work to its full potential. I get lavazza blue or rossa off ebay or amazon. it can be hit and miss how fresh they are. If you find a great coffee bean supplier let me know cos i really need consistency.

@Johanvideo525 How are you enjoying the Silvia. That is the machine ive decided to get from the research ive done it's the absolute best bang for your buck. Im sure it's great but how are you enjoying it?

@Petrichor91 thanks for response, i know what espresso is i've been researching it for years and spent hundreds on machines. started with a delonghi e270 (pressurised) and then upgraded to the rancilio sylvia (non-pressurised). but what got it all started for me was the moka pot bought for a mere £5.

[Petrichor91]

@Johanvideo525 No it's not. Espresso needs to be produced at a specific temperature which the moka pot definitely cannot achieved. It's strong stove top coffee. It tastes somewhat like an espresso because there is no filter taking out any of the delicious oils which are the aroma and taste of espresso but still not espresso because the best flavor gets extracted at about 15 bars of pressure.

Hrm, you're right. But that still doesn't make his comment make sense..

@pudicio No, a proper espresso machine forces hot water through a puck of coffee grinds, not steam. It needs to be under the flash boil point when it comes into contact (~200ºF).
