Default Re: Thinking of the plunge into a Rancilio Silvia

Must take getting use to but not too thrilled right now.

I wait for the light to go off and if I run water through no portafilter, it comes out blazing hot.
I wait for the light to go off again and brew my coffee and the temperature is vastly cooler on the brew.

Also, perhaps being Cuban, use to strong brews, not impressed with the watery consistency of the coffee, without even making it to two thirds of the way of a small expresso cup.

Trying to get tech support to see what it is I am doing wrong.
You would think making espresso now for almost 40 years, I would know how to work this thing.
