Maintenance
How to look after your POP
A thermoblock machine, such as the Quick Mill Pop, Pegaso and Orione, heats the water as it passes through. It is quick to warm up but sensitive to limescale, so regular descaling is the most important maintenance. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.
Good to know about the Quick Mill POP
Coffee temperature is set between 40 and 105 °C and steam temperature between 130 and 140 °C. With the offset you can fine-tune to the actual temperature at the group.
Eco and standby can be activated after 30, 60 or 90 minutes, or switched off with 0.
Clean the filter and portafilter daily and brush the group gasket at least once a week. Use soft water or a water softener.

Wear parts for Quick Mill POP
Original parts that fit your model. Replace the group gasket and shower screen every 6–12 months. How to replace them
Upgrades
A bottomless portafilter shows you instantly if your coffee is channelling. A spring-loaded tamper, a distribution tool and a precision basket give you more even extraction, shot after shot.

Water and filters
The right water protects your machine
The target is 2–4 °dH. Measure the hardness with the BWT water test and use a filter in the tank, and the longer interval will be enough. Do not use distilled water.
Water tank
The POP runs from a water tank. Use an in-tank filter and replace it every 2–3 months.
