Just wanted to check in with those who are considering Quickmill for an espresso specialist machine. I couldn't be happier with the performance of my Quickmill Alexia that I ordered from Chris' Coffee with pre-installed PID. It has been so stable and reliable over the last three years - i hardly think about it when I use it every day. I just replaced the head screen and washer for the first time since it started dripping from the head - i read that it should be replaced after each year! Oops.

Here is a another perfect shot brewed this morning with Intelligentsia black cat analog.
