Quick Mill Rubino Plus Instant Stability: A Heated Brew Group in a 265mm Footprint
The Rubino Plus keeps its famously narrow 265mm footprint and solves the one thing that made a heat exchange machine inconvenient: the wait.
Instant Stability places an active heating element inside the brew group with its own PID, so the machine is ready in about 12 minutes and holds temperature through the extraction and between shots.
Key Features:
- Instant Stability: Heated brew group with dedicated PID, ready in around 12 minutes.
- PID Control: Boiler and brew group temperature control.
- OLED Display: Temperature, shot timer, settings and low-water warning.
- Programmable Pre-Infusion: Gently saturate the puck before full pressure.
- Standby & Eco Modes: Both programmable.
- Twin-Scale Gauge: Boiler and pump pressure at a glance.
- 1.8L Heat Exchange Boiler: Insulated stainless steel; brew and steam at once.
- Quiet Vibration Pump: Pressure stabiliser cuts noise by around 30%.

Against the standard Rubino, the Plus adds the heated group, PID, OLED display, second gauge and programmable modes. If you make coffee on weekday mornings under time pressure, the twelve-minute warm-up is worth the difference on its own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Instant Stability?
It is Quick Mill's thermal management system. An active heating element is built into the brew group and controlled by its own dedicated PID, separate from the boiler. On a conventional heat exchange machine the group is warmed indirectly and takes 25 to 30 minutes to settle. Here it heats itself, so the machine is ready in around 12 minutes and holds temperature between shots rather than drifting.
Is this a real E61 group?
It is Quick Mill's own take on the E61 design — same passive thermosyphon principle, same pre-infusion behaviour, standard 58mm portafilter. The notable difference is a stainless steel mushroom instead of brass, which handles years of backflushing and cleaning detergent better.
Can I brew and steam at the same time?
Yes. It is a heat exchanger, so brew water is drawn through a tube inside the 1.8L boiler and espresso and steaming run simultaneously.
Can it be plumbed in?
No, this is a tank-fed machine. The 3L reservoir is large for the size, so refills are infrequent. If you want a plumbed machine, look at the Quick Mill Aquila or the Rocket Giotto FAST R.
How loud is it?
Quieter than most vibration pump machines. Quick Mill's pressure stabiliser cuts pump noise by around 30%, which in practice turns the usual buzz into a lower hum. It is not silent like a rotary pump, but it will not dominate a kitchen conversation.
Will it fit under my overhead cupboards?
It is 358mm tall and 265mm wide, so it fits where most machines in this class will not. Allow clearance above to lift the brew lever and to fill the tank.
What grinder should I pair with it?
The grinder matters more to your shot than the machine does. Quick Mill's own Sirio is a natural match for the footprint, or see our full coffee grinder range and we will help you choose.
Every Quick Mill machine we sell is genuine Australian stock backed by a 2 year factory warranty and supported by our own Illawarra-based service technicians with genuine parts on the shelf. We are not a drop-shipper — if something needs attention in year three, you have a real workshop to call.
Pairs well with
We have flat rate shipping for our home coffee machines to most locations in Australia. For some remote locations, we will have to quote the shipping costs separately before sending the machine
We like to bench test our machines before dispatch, so it may be a couple of days before we send them out.
No barista experience needed — we'll walk you through it. Every machine we sell comes with setup guidance, and if something's not right after it arrives, our own technicians handle the repair — not a call centre overseas.

We Aim to Match, But Conditions Apply!
We strive to offer the most competitive prices in Australia for all your coffee brewing needs. While we're confident in our pricing, we're human, and occasionally, a competitor might slip a lower price past our radar. That's where you come in! If you spot a better deal elsewhere, we'll gladly match it, with some fair conditions to ensure a level playing field.
Here's the scoop:
- Aussie rivals only: The competitor must be an Australian retailer with prices in AUD and shipping from within our great nation.
- Brand buddies: They must be an authorised retailer of the specific brand you're eyeing.
- Twinsies, please: The product needs to be an exact match, brand new in its box, and readily available.
- Delivery included: We'll factor in the competitor's delivery cost for an apples-to-apples comparison.
Now, for some exceptions, where our price-matching magic might not work:
- Cashback & discounts: We can't match deals involving cashback offers or special discount coupons.
- Bulk buys: Commercial quantity pricing is a different beast, so we won't match those either.
- Clearance frenzy: Stock liquidation sales are temporary deals, and we can't keep up with their ever-changing prices.
- History can't be rewritten: We can't adjust past orders that have already been processed.
- Auction arena: Prices from auction sites like eBay or Catch of the Day aren't eligible.
The rare exception:
In extraordinary situations, we might not be able to match a competitor's price exactly. But don't worry, we'll still offer you the best possible price we can, because your coffee happiness matters to us!
So, there you have it! With these guidelines in mind, feel free to share any lower prices you find, and let's brew up some fair competition!
