ShuttlePilot Am dropping in today to pick up a La Marzocco Double Shot Ridgeless Filter Basket and a water filter. Even though I have a really good filter on my tap, I want to ensure that I treat Miss Silvia with the care she deserves. I've also read good things about using the ridgeless basket, and am looking forward to comparing it with the standard Rancilio basket. Now if I could just get my latte art to look less like Rorschachs . . . :)

ShuttlePilot Several months later update: Still lovin' Miss Silvia! Beautiful shots just keep on coming and I can't imagine life without her. My better half gifted me with a Rancilio Rocky grinder for xmas and while it does not give me the ability to ultra fine-tune that my vintage Zassehaus hand burr grinder does/did -- it gives me absolute consistency and the steps are certainly very much more than just adequate. So once dialed in for whatever beans I'm using at the time, it is the perfect pair up with Miss S. Not to mention, much easier process in the morning :) Love this combo, and look forward to many more years of enjoyment.
