The Pop Up is Quick Mill's compact single-boiler, and it packs more than you'd expect for the price - PID, ring group, shot timer, and a manual profiling valve you can use to shape pressure mid-shot. The wooden steam knob is a small joy. The SBDU format means brew-then-steam, but for single-drink mornings this is charming, capable, and not too expensive.

What we liked and didn't

Pros

  • Manual pressure profiling valve built in
  • PID and shot timer
  • Warm wooden accents and small footprint

Cons

  • Single-boiler - wait between brew and steam
  • Ring group, no E61 character
