Is there a world where it makes sense to keep the silvia? I dont temp surf, I could add a pid but the silvia just cannot compete with the Brazilia. I do 2-4 shots 2-3 times a day over weekends. With guests up to 10 shots a time. 2 shots decaf 2-3 days during the week. Mostly milk based drinks. I use the Manuale for decaf.

I initially thought I would use the Silvia during the week and the Brazilia over weekends. I refurbished the Brasilia 3 months after I got the Silvia and knew I enjoyed the process. Efficiency is of no concern, I have a solar system.

Sell the Silvia and Manuale and get a DF83? Other suggestions?
