No! I had this machine, the skeleton is made of iron (the black colored parts), it completely rusted away for me in a couple of years. Very bad design decision on Rancilio.

100% stainless steel or bust.

Yeah, that corner rust is a pita. They all do it. I’d put rust converter on it.

“They all do it” - all rancilio silva, not every coffee machine.

Thought to add that context for people unfamiliar with coffee machines.

		Good point. It’s definitely a weak spot. I know people who have for the base chromed or similar to stop this. Weird they didn’t address it in the later models.
