Rancilio Silvia v1/v2 -> v3 steaming wand upgrade

Hi All, I searched, but couldn't find any threads discussing an upgrade of a v1/v2 Silvia to the v3 steaming wand. This kit seems to do it: {link} Any pointers? Would love to hear about your experience. How difficult is it to do the upgrade yourself? Worth the trouble? Thanks in advance!

Miss Silvia steaming knob problem?

Thanks for the reply. Since I bought the Silvia just a few months ago, I called Sebastian at {link} - I bought it through him - he's gonna check with his tech before I do anything. - Thanx - Jon

Miss Silvia steaming knob problem?

A four day "Caffeine Tour Of Seattle"

Am now at Lighthouse Roasters. Excellent cup. Wanted to mention a few things about my day... 1 So many La Marzocco's my head is spinning! 2 The dude at Top Pot was committing major faux pas! He was pouring fresh milk on top of already steamed milk. Very surprising. 3 Seattle is a much cleaner

A four day "Caffeine Tour Of Seattle"

Thanks Jim. Went there this morning. I had already had 3 or 4 latte's and I don't think I paced myself well... It's HARD to do a caffeine tour after 3 or 4 lattes! Am now hanging out at Caffe Ladro in Queen Anne. Nice place! Pretty good latte - ugh. - Jon

My g-friend wants to buy me a subscription. Help needed.

Ok, so she wants to get me a subscription. She asked me to choose which one I want. I think I've decided to get a Blue Bottle subscription, but I'm not sure which one to get. I plan to make espresso related drinks (espressos, lattes, cappuccinos). So should I get the "Espresso Medley Gift Subscripti...
