Quick Mill Alexia EVO

Because this is a single-boiler machine, you cannot brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously. If you frequently host groups or make multiple lattes in a row, you will need to wait for the boiler to switch temperatures between brewing and steaming.

The E61 group head is a classic design that uses a thermosyphon system to circulate hot water, ensuring excellent thermal stability. This consistency is crucial for extracting balanced, high-quality espresso shots every time.

The PID controller allows you to set and maintain an exact water temperature for your espresso extraction. This eliminates the guesswork of temperature surfing and lets you dial in specific roasts with precision.

No, the Alexia EVO does not include a built-in grinder. You will need to purchase a separate, high-quality burr grinder to achieve the fine, consistent grind size required for professional-grade espresso.

The Alexia EVO measures 9 inches wide by 17 inches deep and 15.25 inches high. While it has a relatively compact footprint, ensure you have enough clearance above the machine to easily refill the 3-liter water reservoir.

The manual steam wand offers full control, which provides a steeper learning curve than automatic frothers but yields much better results. With a little practice, you will be able to create the microfoam texture necessary for latte art.
