Which to choose
- Temperature. The Lelit Grace has PID temperature control (steadier shot-to-shot consistency); the Rancilio Silvia does not.
- Portafilter — accessories don't transfer. The Lelit Grace takes a 57mm portafilter and the Rancilio Silvia a 58mm, so tampers, bottomless portafilters and baskets bought for one won't fit the other.
Which one should you buy?
- Pick the Lelit Grace if you want PID temperature control for shot-to-shot consistency.
Common questions
Do portafilters and baskets fit both the Lelit Grace and the Rancilio Silvia?
