Rancilio Silvia V6

The Rancilio Silvia V6 is a blend of professional technology and a compact, simple design.

Its stainless steel casing looks elegant and sturdy, easily fitting into any kitchen. However, its true value lies in its performance: an excellent choice for anyone looking to step into the world of premium coffee without complicated and overpriced devices.

Silvia uses an insulated 0.3-liter boiler, which optimizes energy consumption and ensures stable temperature during extraction.

With a width of only 23 cm, it fits easily into smaller spaces without compromising preparation quality.

Intuitive buttons and an ergonomic portafilter make it easy to use, while 8.5 and 16-gram filters provide flexibility in dosing.

Lelit Anna PID

The Lelit Anna PID strikes an excellent balance between price and performance.

Its main feature is the PID system, which allows precise control of boiler temperature. This is a significant advantage over other models in the same price range, as it allows for personalized extraction.

The brass group head and pressure gauge guarantee ideal extraction, while the steam wand allows for easy milk frothing.

The elegant stainless steel design is complemented by intuitive controls and an easily removable 2.7-liter water tank with a side level indicator.

The PID control is the heart of this machine – an option rarely seen in this price range.

Profitec Go

The Profitec Go is Profitec's entry-level model, providing a professional coffee preparation experience in a smaller space and with a more affordable budget.

Equipped with a PID system and a 0.3-liter brass boiler, this machine offers excellent thermal stability and durability.

Thanks to its fast heating function, it's ready to make coffee in less than 7 minutes.

It stands out with its minimalist design and vibrant color palette, making it a design accent in the kitchen.

Made of brushed stainless steel, the Profitec Go comes in black, blue, red, and yellow – so you can match the style without compromising on quality.

Operation is simple: three main buttons for power, extraction, and steam, while a digital display shows extraction time and allows temperature adjustment, ECO mode, and cleaning reminder for the group head.

At the top of the machine, there is also a valve for adjusting extraction pressure.

Stone Lite

The Stone Lite is a machine that stands out with its industrial and minimalist design but makes no compromises when it comes to extraction quality.

Handcrafted in Milan, entirely from metal, the Stone Lite is ready for use in about 10 minutes thanks to the heater inside the group unit.

The 1.5-liter dual-circuit boiler provides excellent thermal stability and allows simultaneous coffee preparation and milk frothing.

Intuitive controls make it easy to use even for beginners.
