What customers say
Home baristas highly respect the Quick Mill Alexia EVO for its superior espresso quality and consistency. Users praise the combination of the stable E61 group head and the integrated PID controller for precise temperature management, leading to exceptional, repeatable extractions. The machine is recognized as a reliable workhorse built with robust, high-quality stainless steel construction.

The Alexia EVO delivers excellent performance in a compact size, making it a top choice for purists upgrading to the prosumer E61 category.
Know before you buy
The PID controller allows you to set and maintain an exact brewing temperature, which is essential for consistent extraction. It also includes a built-in shot timer, helping you track your extraction time without needing an external scale or stopwatch.
While the Alexia EVO is a single-boiler machine, it is highly capable of steaming milk. However, because it is a single boiler, you will need to wait a moment for the machine to switch from brewing temperature to steaming temperature, making it better suited for one or two milk drinks at a time rather than back-to-back lattes for a crowd.
The commercial 58mm E61 group head is an industry standard known for its excellent thermal stability. It uses a thermosiphon system to circulate hot water continuously, ensuring the group remains at the optimal temperature for every shot you pull.
The Alexia EVO features the Pulsar system, which is specifically designed to dampen the vibration of the pump. While it is not silent, it operates significantly quieter than many other vibration-pump espresso machines on the market.
The T.E.A. coating is a specialized treatment applied to the boiler to prevent metal leaching. It ensures that your water remains clean and free of metallic taste, while also providing extra protection against scale buildup over time.
Yes, the steam wand is double-walled, which keeps the exterior cool while the steam flows through the inner tube. This makes it much safer to handle and prevents dried milk from baking onto the wand, making cleanup significantly easier.
