Get the Rocky/Silva combination. If it's a little above your price range, wait it out until you have that much. You won't be satisfied with less and will be a bigger waste of money than just doing it right to start with. Rocky/Silva is still entry level.

I'm curious as need a new expresso maker and wife has been wanting a really nice one.
What is this Rocky/Silva you speak of in this thread?

Is it Rancillio Silvia?

It is Rancilio I gather.
They also make the Rocky.
Found a couple of places that have it for around $600 plus $315 for the Rocky.

I want me one!
Rocky can wait.
Being Cuban, man I love my expresso and have been longing for a nice machine.
Can this one be connected to the water line directly?

No. This is the setup I have.

It's holds enough water that it is not a hassle. The only hassle with this or any espresso machine is cleaning the group head & portafilter.
