Quick Mill Anita Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine

Strikingly similiar to its sibling, the Andreja Premium, the Quick Mill Anita is the product of an in-depth collaboration between our distributor and Quick Mill. The Anita implements the same meticulous technical and mechanical enhancements worked into the Andreja but lacks the no-burn steam and hot water wands as well as the ability to be directly plumbed into a water source, a feature often not desired for a home setting. The newest update of the Anita model includes: a new hinged cover, an easily accessible expansion valve, a four-hole .9 mm tip steam tip, and a new three position power switch.

Steaming Milk

• Before turning the steam nozzle, point the end of the steam wand into an empty container or point it towards the drip tray. This is to get rid of the water that might first come out when you turn on the steam wand.
• When dry steaming begins exiting the steam wand, you can turn it off. You are now ready to start steaming your milk.
• Do not fill your milk pitcher more than halfway full with cold milk
• Make sure the tip of the steam wand is fully submerged before you turn on the steam.
• After you begin steaming, you can raise the steam wand so that the tip is barely submerged. If the tip is submerged too much the milk will begin to squeal meaning it needs more aeration. If you bring the tip too far out you will hear a heavy chirping or sucking sound. This will result in big bubbles and a possible mess.
• You should aim for slight chirping up until the milk reaches room temperature. At that point you can submerge the tip of the wand to one side of the pitcher to create a swirling motion. Continue this until the steaming pitcher becomes too hot to the touch or a couple seconds after you have to take your hand off of the bottom or side (this should be around 140°).

Accessories:

• Two complete 58 mm portafilters (one single and one double).
• Stainless Steel blank disk for backflushing
• We recommend purchasing a 58 mm Prima Coffee Tamper from the drop down menu above

Product Care

• Plain water backflushing should be done at least once a week. To backflush, use the portafilter's backflush disc. Take out your single or double basket and securely place the blank insert into the portafilter. To perform a plain water backflush, place the portafilter into the group head. Then raise the brew lever all the way up for 15 seconds, and then lower it. Water will forcefully discharge out of the bottom of the group into the drip tray; this is normal. Repeat three to five times.
• Backflush with detergent like Cafiza (see options above) once every fifty extractions.
• Warranty: ***Purchases made between October 11th, 2011 and December 31st, 2011 receive an additional year of warranty coverage, making it Two Years of parts and labor provided by US distributor.***
