Rancillio Silvia Steaming problem


posted by Presto on Aug 02, 2006


I have a Rancillio Silvia at work and it had enormous pressure when I first used it.
It is approximately 12 months old and makes around 12 cups a day average.
The problem is that the steam pressure has dropped substantially and it is hard to get good stretching qualities in the milk.
Does this machine need a service, or seals replaced?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Presto...
I have the same problem.

Sounds like your Rancilio needs a service, this problem could be caused by the boiler not working correctly, possibly a leak from the boiler or a valve malfunction causing a drop in pressure.
