This specific shot was pretty good for my taste but since it's my first espresso machine, i don't really know how good it should taste :/

I'm not hearing/seeing any signs of choking of the espresso machine so I don't think you need to go coarser.

Yes v6 has the removable heating element which makes it worth it if you’re getting under the price of a new machine.
r/ranciliosilviapositive3
The machine works perfectly since then.

Looks like a nice machine. Kept clean.
r/ranciliosilviapositive2
Love this machine. I would go for it as long as it is in great condition.
r/ranciliosilviapositive2
It is an amazing machine though combined with the df64.
r/ranciliosilviapositive2
I'd say, if the machine works properly and no damages, then that's a really good deal.

I bought my Silvia tor $1500 and see them on FB marketplace for $400, and rockets for $1000. Rip.
r/ranciliosilviapositive1
Yes, very reliable machine and makes great coffee ☕
r/ranciliosilviapositive1
Heck yeah. Silvia is a great machine
r/ranciliosilvianeutral1
The V6 have that power saver mod I think? I would try to bypass that and see what happens.
r/espressonegative2
Mine worked fine for a week or so, but the old hose diameter is too wide and will eventually pop off.

I used their website guide. https://docs.gaggimate.eu/docs/installation-silvia/
