Quick Mill
Quick Mill Pop-Up
Quick Mill's compact single boiler with a manual pressure-profiling valve: a 0.45 L insulated brass boiler under PID control, a 58 mm ring group, programmable pre-brew and a 0-16 bar gauge so you can steer pressure through the shot by hand. For enthusiasts who want to experiment with pressure without paying dual-boiler money.
Price and availability on Chris Coffee's site may differ.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Front-mounted profiling valve lets you set pre-infusion pressure and taper the shot by hand - rare on a single boiler at any price
- ✓PID governs both brew and steam temperature on the 0.45 L insulated brass boiler, with temperature and shot time on the display
- ✓Quick Mill's noise-reduced vibration pump runs about 30% quieter than a standard one, per the maker
- ✓Chris Coffee adds a two-year warranty where most Quick Mill dealers give one year
Cons
- ✗Single boiler: brew, wait for the boiler to climb to steam temperature, then flush before the next shot
- ✗$95 more than the Profitec GO, which has the same single-boiler PID workflow and a 3-year warranty
- ✗Profiling is entirely manual - every shot is steered by hand and nothing can be saved, so expect a learning period
