Profitec Move or Rancilio Silvia Pro ? [$2999]
Hey y'all, 'm trying to choose between these two machines. I'm looking to upgrade from a V2 Silvia and I'm faced with a tough choice.
I absolutely loved being able to crack open my Silvia and service it, I upgraded and replaced a bunch of components since owning it, and I really enjoy the fact that this machine has been in service for this long and could continue to serve me or someone else for another 10-20 years.
My main motivation to upgrade is that I'd like to be able to make back to back milk drinks more easily, it's a pain with the single boiler and I haven't done a PID upgrade.
The silvia pro would be familiar and similarly easy for me to repair and service on my own, but it's behind the times tech wise and has some ux flaws. The Profitec move would give me much more room to tinker with my espresso, though I'm not sure how much tinkering will realistically do, and I want a machine that is built to last and easy to find parts for to repair.
Is the Silvia really that much easier to repair and keep for 10+ years, or is that something that can just as easily be accomplished with the profitec? Will really use the added features of the profitec?
