Rancilio Silvia Pro X

Rancilio Silvia Pro X dual-boiler espresso machine with PID control.

$2,195Buy on Amazon
Amazon US, October 2026. Prices change.

Rancilio has built the Silvia in Italy since 1997 and still sells every part for it. The Pro X adds two boilers and PID temperature control, which is the one job a chip is good at in espresso. No app, no Wi-Fi, no account.

Repairable
Opens with common tools, spare parts are available, and replacement parts work without the maker unlocking them.
