Rancilio Silvia replaced by Crossland Coffee CC1

I have been making espresso at home everyday for over a decade.  One day my trusty Rancilio  Silvia espresso machine broke unexpectedly. I needed a replacement fast.  I reviewed a wide selection of machines and finally selected the Crossland Coffee CC1. Once my espresso supply started flowing again, the espresso emergency was over.  I recaffeinated researched, and repaired Miss Silvia. I have learned some lessons along the way, and am happy to share what I learned with you.
