Maintenance
How to look after your Fast
A lever machine, such as the Profitec Pro 800, ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva or Elektra Microcasa a Leva, is not backflushed with a blind basket. It does best with daily cleaning, the right water, and gaskets and piston seals that are replaced and lubricated in good time. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.
Good to know about the Quick Mill Fast
The boiler temperature is controlled by a PID with a temperature probe and shown on the display. The machine has a standby function.
The pressure gauge shows the boiler pressure between 0 and 2.5 bar, useful for seeing when the machine is ready to steam.

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.
Descaling
Water and filters
The right water protects your machine
The target is 2–4 °dH. Use a filter in the tank, or BWT Bestmax if the machine is plumbed in. Do not use distilled water.
Water tank
The Fast runs from a water tank. Use an in-tank filter and replace it every 2–3 months.
