The Quick Mill MOD.03000 ORIONE is a semi-automatic espresso machine. It has internal systems that automatically control the pump pressure (to provide consistent pressure for coffee) and water temperature for the boiler (to provide consistent steam temperature). For those who want to customize the flavor of the espresso, it allows you to engage the pump manually to control the water flow. This is most suitable for intermediate level baristas.
As a pump-driven machine, it forces water through the grinds using an internal pump. This uses a higher pressure than a steam machine and results in a better tasting cup of espresso.
Taking into account factors that drive espresso taste, machine durability, and convenience, the Quick Mill MOD.03000 ORIONE is an average semi-automatic machine.
This unit utilizes single-boiler w/ heat exchanger to heat water. It pumps water through a heated coiled tube (the heat exchanger), heating it up to ideal brewing temperature. This system maintains the water temperature more consistently and enables you to brew and steam milk at the same time.
The boiler is made out of stainless steel, which is the best material in the market, as it retains heat very well and is resistant to corrosion.
For those who prefer to control the amount of foam in the coffee, this machine is also comes with a separate steam wand to manually steam the milk for epresso and lattes.
