Quickmill Essence

Jason1wood

Just seen this on Bella Barista and wondered if any of you guys had experience of machine.

Seems a good machine and with already having owned a now kaput Verona, have experience with Quickmill

Where does the lever go. ☕🤪

Might as well get a Bianca….

MediumRoastSteam £600 off the QM though

dfk41 - Must be the bargain of the century then!

So, the cynical in me asks the questions:

It’s an ex-review machine - Are they stocking it? A quick search on their website for quickmill yields a negative response.
If machine goes pop… Will Bella Barista deal with it? Will they be able to source the parts easily - assuming they are not stocking it?
Machine settings can be accessed via PC/Tablet. I personally would like to understand what exactly can (and can’t) access via the built-in display/control module.

Last machine I bought was QM Verona which was the unit reviewed by our very own @DavecUK so wasnt sure this was done also.

Was just thinking something like this and a Philos grinder would be same price as the LM I’ve been looking at.

The Vostock is also out as checked size and not a chance it would fit anywhere, it’s a monster of a machine

Jason1wood would the Evo? Essentially the same machine…..

Jason1wood Think if paying roughly the same price, I’d regret not getting the Vostok.

How does that work? You already said the Vostok won’t fit. So a Vostok it can’t be… So your best bet, if you want anything like it, is the Evo 2… or am I missing something?

Jason1wood I might be wrong but I thought whatever one had the other could have

Jason1wood

Theres no difference other than a smaller body, space requirement?

Evo for kitchen with cupboards

Vostok for vast open planes / kitchen islands😋

Jason1wood

I’d never thought about a lever until I came here and to be honest, a fair amount of you rave about them so i thought I’d look and loved the idea of one.

Showed my partner and she’s not taken with them at all and as its her kitchen I have to back down.

So back to LM now.

Been looking at everything else and think I’m at a point of pulling the trigger on a Micra

Thanks for all your help and advice gents. 🎅🎅🎅

Well, when you get it and think, Davids evo 1 is better than this, i cant even get a mug under this group head, what was i thinking, 🫣🤪 you cant say we didnt try. 🎄😋🎄

☕🥰

I didn’t listen to @Grahamsphillips 3 years ago and look where that got me…. 3 years late to the party!!

(Dont do the maths as to when the evo2 was released, i know🤓)

Jason1wood

I know, I know, but space is limited and as moving in with HER, something has to give. 🤣🤣🤣

Adrianmsmith

Its tiny. I bet she wouldn’t even notice if you slipped it in whilst she wasnt looking 🫣

These bricks on the other hand, WTF, surprised they are still there 🤣

Elcarajillo

That is an architectural feature BUT you do need more worktop
