1. Vetrano 2B Evo
Boiler: Double
- Pump: Rotary
- Water capacity: 3 liter
- Dimensions (HxWxD): 16” x 13” x 18”
The newly updated Vetrano 2B Evo is Quick Mill’s top-of-the-line big dual boiler. It’s the model that showcases all the brand’s best features, so I can’t imagine choosing anything else as my top pick.
If you’re really serious about good espresso drinks ― like multiple drinks in a row several times a day ― this is the machine for you.
The latest edition offers two stainless steel boilers, each with independent PID temperature control. The brew boiler is an ample 0.75 liters, and the steam boiler is 1.4 liters. While not the biggest on the market, I like the balance between function and form.
they strike a nice balance between being user-friendly and having a small footprint. The temperature of both boilers is independently controlled by PID, and the PID display doubles as a shot timer.
The brew group is the classic E61, and coupled with the PID, this machine really nails the desired brew temperature. I rarely measured a fluctuation over 1 degree in testing – a stat that really matters if you’re brewing specialty coffee (1).
A couple of degrees hotter or cooler can change the flavor. That’s why it’s so important to have temperature stability.
Other noteworthy features include a beautiful deep blue dual pressure gauge, automatic shot timer, and super-quiet rotary pump. The latter is fantastic because it allows you to direct-plumb the machine and access line-pressure pre-infusion.
A new addition to this updated model is the option to operate it at 15 or 20 amps, with the higher amperage yielding faster heat-up and recovery times. It also includes a dual ECO mode, which is easy to turn on and off and cleverly manages each boiler separately.

2. QM67
Boiler: Double
- Pump: Vibration
- Water capacity: 3 liters
- Dimensions (HxWxD): 16” x 11” x 17”
The QM67 Evo is the dual boiler for the rest of us. It’s similar in many ways to its big brother, the Vetrano, but scaled down in size and price.
Like the Vetrano, it has two stainless steel boilers – each with PID temperature control – and an E61 brew group (2). Yet again, temperature stability is impeccable. The brew boiler is the same 0.75 liters, and the steam boiler is a slightly smaller 1 liter. You won’t achieve quite the same maximum steaming power, but you get a more compact machine.

The biggest difference between the QM67 and the Vetrano is that the QM67 has a vibration pump. That makes it a bit louder and means that you can’t plumb it to a water line. Fortunately, the 3-liter water reservoir is not only large but easily accessible. You can fill it from the top of the machine without having to remove the warming tray.
Besides that, I was impressed to find most of the same features as the more expensive model. You get the same blue manometer, ECO mode, digital PID display and shot timer, and stainless steel build – making the QM67 a great value!
3. Andreja Premium Evo
Boiler: Heat Exchanger
- Pump: Vibratory
- Water capacity: 3 liter
- Dimensions (HxWxD): 16” x 11” x 17”
Heat exchangers (HX) require a slightly different workflow than double boilers and generally have a bit more of a learning curve. But they have plenty of fans, and I count myself among them. Once you get the technique down, you have essentially the same functionality as a dual boiler from a smaller and less expensive machine.
The Andreja Premium is Quick Mill’s largest and most popular HX machine. Indeed, it’s among their overall best-sellers.
At its heart is a 1.8-liter T.E.A.-coated brass boiler that’s heated by a powerful 1400-watt heating element. It heats notably fast – less than 15 minutes in my tests – and recovers quickly between shots.
The Quick Mill Andreja Premium Evo uses the industry-favorite Ulka vibratory pump, and while you can’t plumb it to a water line, I was impressed to find the E61 group includes an automatic pre-infusion stage (3). While not as soft as line-pressure, it still provides a notable quality boost to your shots.
The Andreja lacks PID temperature control, which I don’t particularly miss in this case. With heat exchange boilers, I prefer to learn the nuances of the machine and use cooling flushes to manage the temperature.
By the way, if you’re looking to save a bit of money and space, the Anita is a nearly identical HX machine with a slightly smaller boiler.
4. Alexia Evo
Boiler: Single
- Pump: Vibratory
- Water capacity: 3 liter
- Dimensions (HxWxD): 15” x 9” x 17”
A single boiler espresso machine offers incredible value if you rarely make milky drinks like lattes and cappuccinos. They pull the same delicious shots as the larger coffee machines but at a fraction of the cost. The only trade-off is that you can’t brew and steam milk simultaneously.

The Quick Mill Alexia Evo has the same 0.75-liter brew boiler, PID temperature control, commercial-grade 58 mm E61 brew group, Ulka vibration pump, and built-in shot timer as the QM67 (4). All for about $1000 cheaper and in a significantly smaller footprint.
That’s not to say you can’t make a proper latte with this machine. In all honesty, the frothing system exceeded my expectations.
It’s a little slower than the big boys, but you can get the steam pressure relatively high – over 1 bar – by maxing out the PID. And the articulated no-burn steam wand is a pleasure to use.
5. Silvano Evo
Boiler: Single plus Thermoblock
- Pump: Two Vibratory Pumps
- Water capacity: 2 liter
- Dimensions (HxWxD): 16” x 10” x 13”
The Quick Mill Silvano Evo is one of the more unique espresso makers I have reviewed this year. It’s priced like a single boiler model, yet it can make coffee and steam milk simultaneously! It does this by having a separate vibration pump and thermoblock, also called a steam bank, for generating steam.

A thermoblock doesn’t have the same steam pressure as a boiler, but it’s a clever solution that allows dual boiler functionality from a small and inexpensive model. And as a bonus, it heats up much faster.
The 0.4-liter coffee boiler has PID temperature control, and you can adjust the thermoblock temperature independently. Or it can be turned off when not in use to save energy. As with the more expensive models, the PID display doubles as a shot timer.
The Silvano Evo includes both a readily accessible OPV and brew pressure gauge – two features I’m always pleasantly surprised to find on an entry-level machine (5). Typically, I stick with the 9-bar standard, but it’s fun to have the option to play with novel extraction conditions like the 6-bar turbo shot.
How to Choose the Best Quick Mill Espresso Machine
There are a few critical features to consider when choosing the right machine, like the types of drinks you enjoy and your available space. This buyer’s guide has everything you need to know to make an informed decision.
First And Foremost: Understanding Boilers
The type of boiler setup is the most important decision when buying a prosumer espresso machine. It has the most impact on your daily workflow – not to mention your budget. You have three choices: single boilers, double boilers, or heat exchangers.
- A single boiler is the smallest and least expensive option. You use the same boiler for brewing and steaming, so you can’t do both at the same time. They’re a great option if you prefer espresso to milky drinks. Along with the Alexia and Silvano above, the Quick Mill Pippa is another popular single boiler from the brand.
- A double boiler is the largest and most expensive option, but you can make coffee and steam milk simultaneously – while exerting the best temperature control over both processes. They’re a good choice for specialty coffee lovers or those making a lot of back-to-back drinks.
- A heat exchange system also allows you to make coffee and steam milk simultaneously without requiring two separate boilers. They are usually less expensive and more compact than double boilers but don’t offer the same degree of temperature control. Along with the Anita and Andreja already mentioned, the Quick Mill Rubino is another example.
Cheaper espresso machines usually use a thermoblock, which isn’t a boiler at all. Instead, brew or steam water is piped through a superheated block. They don’t produce the same quality drinks but are inexpensive, small, and fast to heat up. I mention them because you’ll find one just for steam on the Quick Mill Silvano Evo.
Rotary or Vibratory Pumps
Quick Mill models come with either a rotary or vibratory pump, which can quickly achieve the desired pressure (6). Rotary pumps are more expensive and usually reserved for premium models. Compared to vibration pumps, they are quieter and allow you to plumb directly to a water line.
That said, some espresso connoisseurs prefer the pressure profile inherent to a vibratory pump.
They build up brew pressure more slowly, resulting in a sort of pre-infusion that makes a better espresso.
Vibratory pumps are also less expensive and smaller than rotary pumps. Their vibrations can be noisy and disruptive, but good engineering and proper sound dampening can mitigate those problems in high-quality machines.
Size and Capacity Considerations
When buying a prosumer espresso machine, size is a bigger factor than an appliance-grade model. Prosumers are big. Not every kitchen or office can accommodate every model.
Make sure to measure your space and check the machine’s dimensions before you buy. In particular, consider a machine’s height if you plan to put it underneath cupboards, remembering you may need to factor in extra clearance for cup storage and accessing the water reservoir.
Capacity is an important factor if you plan on making many drinks, especially many consecutive drinks.
For high-volume use, you’ll want a large water reservoir and drip tray or, even better, something that can be plumbed to a water line. Likewise, larger boilers mean you can make more consecutive drinks before the machine needs to recover, and a more powerful heating element provides quicker recovery.
The Verdict
Quick Mill is a well-established manufacturer of prosumer-grade espresso machines. All their models are well-designed and made from high-quality materials. Choosing the right one is all about the set of features that works for you.
My favorite this year – assuming money and space are no object – is the top-of-the-line double boiler, the newly updated Vetrano 2B Evo. With the latest set of improvements, it’s better than ever and sure to please.
FAQs
Quick Mill coffee makers are made in Senago, near Milan, in Northern Italy, where the firm was founded in 1945. This region of Italy is home to many of the world’s top espresso machine manufacturers, like La Cimbali and La Marzocco.
A semi-automatic espresso machine uses a pump to generate the pressure required to pull an espresso shot. But everything else, including grinding, dosing, tamping, and shot timing, is left to the barista.
All the machines reviewed here are semi-automatic espresso machines. In contrast, an automatic espresso machine uses either a flowmeter or timer to stop the shot automatically based on pre-programmed criteria.
Yes, Quick Mill makes a lever espresso machine, which is called the Achille. This style is more difficult to master than a semi automatic espresso machine, so it caters to a smaller niche of coffee lovers. But fans claim that it produces unparalleled espresso quality.
