Hi there - is it possible to program any of the Quickmill machines to do a timed shot without manually needing to deactivate? I see a few have shot timers built in but I can’t figure if they deliver on time or volume or require manual intervention? Thanks!
Yay, thank you for this instructional video! I have this same machine and I’m having trouble with how much water comes out with my espresso. I’ll weigh out a 20g shot and it seems like too much water comes through the bulk head (25-30 sec of extraction time will provide a 120ml shot. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
You need to go much finer on your grind it is way too coarse. If you have pre ground coffee you need to get it finer or better yet buy a grinder and adjust it to suit your machine
Great to see this. Bought the Matt black timber one from you guys. Love it. Need to increase the pressure by the looks of this though….and do my training!
I have the matte black pippa and love it. I did change the portafilter handle so I am using a bottomless portafilter. What recipe do you guys use when brewing? I have changed beans and sometimes have difficulty dialing in my shots.
If I have the choice to either go for a quickmill Pippa for 699€ or the profitec go for 810€ wich one would you recommend? Is the Pippa really stable in temperature or is the PID with the profitec an unbeatable argument to buy the profitec go?
The Quick Mill Pipa is a far better choice. Much better build quality and finish. Heavy duty toggle.dwitches, larger boiler, more steaming power. Water reservoir easy on the right side. On the whole the Quick Mill Pippa is much more pleasurous to work with than the Profitec Go.
Nice video! Especially if you own the black version and still learning a lot from that demonstration. May I ask which steel milk jugs did you use? Is it a motta 600 ml ? Happy coffee drinking .
Hi I purchased the Pippa through your store before Christmas and it looks beautiful. Tried to do espresso but the pressure gauge only come to 2-3. Doest come to 9 or 10 at all. (Steaming milk is ok) Not sure which part I did wrong. I set grinder (gs7) to 16 which I believe it's fine. If you can let me know will be much appreciated.
Ok, so the number on the grinder is not a specific grind setting, watch the video on how to set up your grinder. You need to go finer, are you using our beans? If not they could be aged and not helping. If you get stuck still please email us so we can reach out by a call and get you sorted. Cheers luke
How much to you put in the steam tip when frothing the milk? Every time I try with my pippa halfway, the milk starts to have soapy texture and when the tip is fully in, the texture is staying almost the same as the milk was before, making me unable to have milk for latte art. Would appreciate your help!
Are you purging the water out? You should only put the tip in deep enough from the top so that there is no noise or hissing. Then you lower the tip to hear the hiss which gets you the foam. Cheers luke
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters Thank you Luke for the reply! Yes I’m purging out the water before steaming but no matter the distance from the side of the jug I still get the hiss sound and. Or the usual sound I hear when frothing in other machines. Do you know maybe if that related to my problem and how to solve it?
Hi, i have purchased a Quick Mill Pippa a few weeks ago but struggling to get silky milk from steaming. I’m not used to steaming with a two hole steam tip. Can the Pippa support a 4 hole steam tip?
You can try? It may just push the steam out too quickly. Have you watch the position we use in our video and copied it? If your trying to use a big jug it may also be hard. But we have found the steam to be great. Are you draining the water out, then Turing the tap off once all the water is out to let it build up steam again?
Hi thanks for replying! Yes i have been getting better at steaming my milk after looking at the few videos on RUclips. Not many videos on the Quick Mill Pippa so appreciate you guys making a video on it.
In my old Gaggia I am used to just press the shott button and the boild refills while I pull my shots (small boiler). Problem ist Temp drops with time of the shot. How do modern machines like this work? Do they use the big volume to just use the water from the tank and refill themselves later? Do they also refill simultaneously? Or do I need to do it manually?. I understand that you need to empty it before steaming to create space but then you need to fill it up again: just by activating the pump? I would love a simple explanation before I buy one
So yes you need to empty it to remove the water so there is room for steam to be generated. You then have to pump water back into the boiler until it comes out the steam wand then you activate the heat element again.
Seemed like the vibe pump was pushing water through the puck at about 12 bar (normal for a vibe, i think). Question: Is there a procedure to control the water temperature that exits onto the puck (and if so what would that be)?
You can’t control the water temp that goes to the puck, the vibration pump has the adjustment as mentioned in the video, we wanted to leave it as per out of the box. It’s the expansion balance you can change
When I bought my Pippa last year there was no info whatsoever on the machine. I have the stainless steel machine. What home grinder would you recommend for the machine. I had a Eureka grinder by it kept getting clogged all the time from the fine grind I need to dial in the espresso. Thanks for doing the video.
Well hopefully this video helped you out a little and you got a tip or two. Two grinders which would partner well with the Pippa would be the Precision GS7 or the Fiorenzato AllGround. Let’s us know if you need any more info
I have this machine and will say that I let it heat up for a lot longer than what the machine suggests, so I'll start heating it up about 5-10 minutes before I'm ready to pull the first shot. My shots have been somewhat fast and underextracted if I've pulled when the machine is supposed to be ready.
Is the brass boiler plated with anything? I heard some quick mills are coated with T.E.A to prevent any leaching of lead! Does that include the pippa by chance?
If I want to pull another shot after steaming milk, do I need to repeat the steps? Flick the switch back to 0 then flick to 1 and so on? And how long would I need to wait? Thanks so much for this video!
What I do is (1) move the steam switch (bottom switch) to off, then (2) turn the top switch to 1 and then (3) turn the second switch on to run water through the group head. The water will be VERY hot since the steaming phase just finished. This also helps to clean off the group head and get rid of any coffee remnants. After running that for a bit, I switch it off. Then (4) move the top switch to position 2. The orange light should go on indicating that water is being heated back up to brew temp. Once the orange light is off, then it's ready to brew the second cup. This helps avoid running water through the puck that is way, way too hot.
It’s a single boiler machine, pid would be challenging to change the pid from water boiling temp of 95 to then 122 for steam. The design of the system is easier to manage.
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters you did a brew products review. it will be amazing if you can do a video on how to get a good cold brew. the recipe, the grind, what is the best coffee for cold brew, how to get the best taste, coffee to water ratio ect :) thanks!
This machine about durability. Boiler brass and quality pipes inside the machine. More stability Breville hype shit machine with the thermoblock and plastic .
It doesn't matter if you bang it before it is tamped. He was doing that to get all the coffee out of the dosing cup. He distributed afterward, so no harm was done.
To clarify… yes, you can tap the portafiler prior to tamping. This is a good distribution technique that can be followed by a distribution tool. No tapping once tamped. 👌🏼
This is the best looking machine at this pricepoint.
Thanks for the quick mill content. There really isnt enough info on quick mill on you tube.👍
Thank you, happy to share it

Thank you for doing a demo, appreciate it! 03:35
Thank you for this video! A cleaning video for this machine would be amazing too! But thank you for filming this! A great help!
This is the prettiest entry level machine. Much more elegant than the profitec go and casa v
Yes we agree
The white model looks great! I bet it is a bear to keep looking clean, though. I loved my matte black Pippa. Great review!
Colour or stainless steel, 🤗 coffee is a bit if messy game not matter the machine and colour choice

Another good review , I can see my coffee machine in the background

In these I just used a 350ml standard jug.

How long does it take to be ready for action from switch on?
That’s video was pretty much it, not real cuts, so about 3 min heat up to brew espresso
I have this machine and will say that I let it heat up for a lot longer than what the machine suggests, so I'll start heating it up about 5-10 minutes before I'm ready to pull the first shot. My shots have been somewhat fast and underextracted if I've pulled when the machine is supposed to be ready.
Is the brass boiler plated with anything? I heard some quick mills are coated with T.E.A to prevent any leaching of lead! Does that include the pippa by chance?
I’ll find out for you
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters thank you!
What does the one and two Switch represent?
Pump and no element
genuine question, how much pressure was used on the tamp? it looked like all polish and no tamp
My standard pressure which is about 14kg, the same as our auto tampers
If I want to pull another shot after steaming milk, do I need to repeat the steps? Flick the switch back to 0 then flick to 1 and so on?
And how long would I need to wait?
Thanks so much for this video!

@ericw4377 thank you so much for explaining! I'm coming from a Keurig 😅
Shame it doesn't have a PID, also do you have anything similar 2nd hand with a PID
It’s a single boiler machine, pid would be challenging to change the pid from water boiling temp of 95 to then 122 for steam. The design of the system is easier to manage.
Can you please make a tutorial on how to make a cold brew coffee? 😊
I think we have some on the puck puck and the breur cold brew system already
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters you did a brew products review. it will be amazing if you can do a video on how to get a good cold brew. the recipe, the grind, what is the best coffee for cold brew, how to get the best taste, coffee to water ratio ect :) thanks!
Whats the difference between a machine like this vs say a $700 Breville machine?
This machine about durability. Boiler brass and quality pipes inside the machine. More stability Breville hype shit machine with the thermoblock and plastic .
Just got one of these machines & for the life of me cant get 9 bar pressure always 6-7
Your grind will need to go finer, or the dose a bit higher. Do you have a grinder to adjust your grind ?
40 grams yield not 20 😉
The worst things about the Quick Mill is the name and the logo. It sounds cheap and the logo looks cheap too.
It’s old skool Italian
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters true, but it sounds like an oatmeal company.
No PID for that Price? LoL
Never bang the portafilter. It’s 101 in learning how to brew coffee
It doesn't matter if you bang it before it is tamped. He was doing that to get all the coffee out of the dosing cup. He distributed afterward, so no harm was done.
Banging the portafilter is never recommended. Use a distributor if necessary
@@balmatian you can bang the portafilter all day till the cows come home, just not the spout
@@Dragonslayer-fy6tc no you can’t.
To clarify… yes, you can tap the portafiler prior to tamping. This is a good distribution technique that can be followed by a distribution tool.
No tapping once tamped.
👌🏼
