Maintenance

How to look after your Narrow

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 Narrow

Separate thermostats for coffee and steam

The Stretta has a thermoblock with one thermostat for coffee and one for steam. After switching to steam, wait until the heating light goes out before you froth milk.

The Stretta has model code 0820. Gasket, shower screen, filter baskets and steam tip are on the spare parts page for the Quickmill 0820.

Water and filters

The right water protects your machine

Thermoblocks have narrow channels, so even a little limescale reduces flow and heat. Descale regularly, every 1–3 months depending on the water hardness and how much you brew. Quick Mill specifies every 3–4 months for several models. Use a descaler for espresso machines, such as Cafetto LOD, never vinegar.
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.
0 °dH2–4 °dH recommended15 °dH
