QuickMill Rapida – Traditional Lever Espresso Machine

A true manual espresso experience, built for purists.

Looking for a real lever machine? The QuickMill Rapida is an authentic manual lever espresso machine—engineered from the ground up as a traditional "dipper" system, drawing brew water directly from the boiler. Unlike modified E61 machines such as the Bezzera Strega, the Rapida is the real deal.

Key Features

• True Lever Group
  The Rapida features a heavy-duty Astoria-type lever group. When the lever is pulled down, a spring inside the piston chamber is tensioned. Releasing the lever unleashes the spring, which forces water through the coffee at a gradually declining pressure—creating a beautiful pressure profile and a richer extraction than traditional pump-based systems.

• 1.9L Copper Heat Exchanger Boiler
  Insulated copper boiler with heat exchanger allows simultaneous espresso brewing and milk steaming. The copper construction offers excellent thermal conductivity and stability.

• PID Temperature Control with OLED Display
  Digitally adjust your brew temperature with precision. The PID controller allows you to fine-tune the machine for different coffee types and roast profiles. Also includes programmable eco mode and standby mode to reduce energy use.

• Quiet Ulka Vibration Pump with Expansion Chamber
  Equipped with a vibration pump and unique expansion chamber developed by QuickMill to significantly reduce noise during boiler refill cycles—far quieter than standard vibratory machines.

• Push-Lever Steam and Hot Water Valves
  One-touch access to steam and hot water with modern push levers. Both wands are double-walled for safety and comfort, preventing burns during use.

• Handcrafted in Italy
  High-gloss stainless steel body with a reinforced internal stainless steel frame—built to withstand the pressure of manual lever operation. Hand-finished in Italy with exceptional attention to detail.
