Rancilio Silvia PID Controller Kit with Steam Temperature Control & Programmable Extraction Timer
Designed for Rancilio Silvia owners of all models—including the latest V4 and V5 (E/M) versions—this advanced PID controller kit elevates your espresso experience with precision engineering tailored for both home baristas and professional coffee enthusiasts. Beyond standard temperature control capabilities, this kit introduces two game-changing features: steam temperature regulation and a customizable extraction timer that seamlessly integrates pre-infusion functionality.
Programmable Extraction Timer:
The timer’s three-phase design lets you optimize every stage of brewing:
– Pre-Infusion Pulse (Tp): A short water burst primes coffee grounds evenly before brewing begins.
– Soak Phase (Td): Holds water pressure briefly to ensure consistent saturation of coffee, eliminating uneven extraction caused by dry pockets.
– Brew Phase (Tb): Delivers 25 seconds of steady pressure for optimal flavor extraction.
Each phase can be fine-tuned in 0.1-second increments, giving you unmatched control over brew dynamics—even if your tamping isn’t perfect. Pressing the “>” button starts the sequence automatically, while pressing it again pauses the pump mid-cycle for manual adjustments. This flexibility allows you to experiment with timing or revert to traditional methods using your machine’s original switch when desired.
Steam Temperature Control:
Achieve stable steam temperatures for flawless milk texturing—critical for crafting velvety lattes or smooth cappuccinos at home or in small cafés.
Why Choose This Kit?
Unlike basic PID controllers that focus solely on brew temperature, this kit combines brew precision with steam management, making it ideal for serious coffee lovers seeking full customization without sacrificing simplicity. Its intuitive interface ensures effortless operation whether you’re dialing in settings for specialty-grade beans or enjoying a quick morning espresso ritual.
