Quick Mill Sunny 2046 The Quick Mill Sunny 2046 is one of the more unique modern espresso machines from Quick Mill, combining thermoblock brewing technology with a dedicated stainless steel steam boiler. Designed for users who want fast heat-up times without sacrificing steam performance, the Sunny 2046 sits somewhere between a compact thermoblock machine and a true prosumer dual-system espresso machine. One of the defining features of the Sunny 2046 is its dual independent heating circuits: Stainless steel coffee thermoblock for rapid espresso brewing Separate 1.5 L stainless steel steam boiler for powerful steaming This setup allows the machine to heat up significantly faster than traditional E61 heat exchanger or dual boiler machines while still maintaining strong milk steaming capability. Many users highlight the machine’s fast startup and powerful steam as major strengths. The Sunny also introduces a more modern workflow compared to traditional Quick Mill E61 machines: OLED display Adjustable pre-infusion Integrated shot timer Smartphone connectivity ECO mode Steam boiler on/off control Adjustable brew and steam temperatures Unlike classic E61 machines, the Sunny uses an electronically controlled brewing system with a side lever interface and programmable parameters.
