Friend of my room mate had this dusty old thing he said he would sell for $200 so I jumped on it. I was told at first he had a Gaggia Classic for $200 and said I would buy it. Then I found out it was this Silvia V3 with PID, bottomless portafilter, and multiple baskets! It was very dirty when I got it but I cleaned her up and back flushed it with cafiza. Bought a new scale, KinGrinder K6, and glasses to go with it.

Already equipped with a PID mod? Sweet deal!
Congrats! I got my bone stock V2 for 200 as well, you’re going to love it!
Thats a great machine right there
Soon you’ll need a good quality electric grinder, but first you’ll have time to get a nice bicep.
That’s a great cop. Just make sure it’s not rusting under the drip tray!
Terrific setup. Congrats! You’ll be able to make excellent coffee and learn a ton with that. Is this an upgrade from another machine for you?
I used one of those for over 20 years.
Pro tip: put it on a timer so you wake up to a warm machine.
Jesus that’s a smoking deal I thought 30.00 for a Gaggia Brera was good

Congrats! You in Siloam Springs? I had Pour Jons when visiting JBU.
I’m jelly. Nicely done.
