The straightforward competitor of the Breville Infuser is, of course, the Rancilio Silvia . This coffee machine is a testament to Rancilio's commitment to quality and craftsmanship. One of the standout features of the Silvia is its ergonomic porta filter handle, which is identical to the design used in Rancilio's commercial machines. This design ensures a comfortable and secure grip, allowing for precise and consistent extractions. It truly enhances the overall brewing experience. The commercial-grade group head of the Silvia is another impressive feature. It provides exceptional heat stability, ensuring that the temperature remains consistent throughout the extraction process. This stability leads to premium extraction quality, producing rich and flavorful espresso shots every time. The Silvia's articulating steam wand is a game-changer. With a complete range of motion, it allows for effortless milk steaming, creating a velvety smooth microfoam for lattes and cappuccinos
