Rancilio has been building commercial and home espresso machines in Milan since 1927, and their reputation for durability and no-nonsense Italian engineering is well earned. The Rancilio Silvia remains one of the most recommended entry-level espresso machines for a reason. Their Silvia Pro X dual-boiler is based on the Silvia platform and adds features such as PID temperature control, programmable pre-infusion, and cafe-quality steaming.
