When it comes to home espresso, the Rancilio Silvia may be the world's favourite machine. The simple, robust, Italian-engineered little beauty has been used by passionate home baristas for a couple of decades, and now in its 5th edition, it's still going strong.

If you make the investment in a Rancilio Silvia, one of the first accessories you should consider buying is a proper weighted espresso tamper, and Rancilio themselves make this beautiful option for you to consider. It has a solid steel base, a polished rosewood handle, and an elegantly inscribed Rancilio logo on the top of the handle, making it the perfect companion for the Silvia.
