But it ended up so popular that they decided to release it to the consumer market.” Mody and McCarthy even go so far as to specifically say they prefer the Rancilio Silvia over Breville, the only other company that came up as making good at-home espresso makers at middle-of-the-road price points (much more on Breville below). “They created this one to send to their distributors and give away at trade fairs. “Rancilio used to make commercial machines,” Mody says. The Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine comes enthusiastically recommended by Cary Wong, a member of the Partners Coffee education team, as well as Suyog Mody and James McCarthy, founder and coffee educator, respectively, at Brooklyn’s Driftaway Coffee.

And if you care about how good your espresso tastes, you’ll likely have to invest some real money into its production.

As I researched this article, one thing became crystal clear to me: Making quality espresso at home can be tough.
