Quick Mill POP – Thermoblock Espresso Machine with Full Control
You load the portafilter, the wooden turn handle sits warm in your hand, and on the gauge you watch the pressure build as the first dark drops run into the cup. The Quick Mill POP (model 02043) is built for anyone who likes to be hands-on with their espresso – calm, precise, and with a housing that looks great on the counter.
At its heart is a metal thermoblock with dual thermostatic control and a thermal fuse. PID temperature control keeps the brewing temperature steady – and because compounds in coffee release differently depending on temperature, this stability is a big part of how sweet, round and aromatic your espresso turns out. The expansion valve also lets you shape the pressure from pre-infusion through to the end of the shot. Whether that matters to you or not is entirely up to you – there's no right or wrong, all that counts is that the coffee tastes good to you. That's our view, one of many.

Who the POP is for
For anyone who extracts espresso at home and likes fine-tuning temperature, pre-infusion and pressure, without the machine feeling complicated. To match, you'll find the right grinder in our Varia coffee grinders – affordable and precise with the VS3, or with more features the VS6. To keep an eye on your dose, there are scales from Normcore, or, if you want an app and flow-rate display, from Acaia. Everything for clean puck prep is in the Barista Tools. Fresh beans from our own roastery are in the Coffee Beans. Not sure which machine suits you? Our advisor tool can help.
