Quick Mill Pop-up Espresso Machine - Black

Great espresso machine! Quality is at is best. Still learning how to pour a great shot but the learning curve is not that bad! Recommend to anyone who is looking to upgrade.

The Joy this brings me

This is a fun machine to own and to make coffee with. Right away, from the unboxing you feel the quality of the materials and the sturdiness and weight of the machine despite its compact footprint. The features are as advertised. There’s no complaint from me as it just works. BUT…as with any semi-automatic machine it takes time to dial in the beans and get the workflow sorted. Buy a decent coffee scale as a minimum. The plastic tamper that comes with the Pop Up is the only disappointment I have with this setup. What’s the point. So get a proper tamper as well. For home workflow, this machine exceeds my expectations for speed. It heats up fast, changes modes quickly, and is mostly straightforward to use. HOWEVER - the manual is adequate but not written that well. That’s an art in itself. Some sections lack detail in what the function does and I had to search online to find the difference between eco and standby modes, and to figure out whether pre-infusion was on or off. It’s there, just not well written.

Awesome machine

Spent hours reviewing different machines and finally found that the quick mill met my needs. I'm so happy that I don't have buyers remorse, absolutely love the machine.
