Keep it clean, taste the difference
With every espresso you brew, coffee residue builds up inside your machine. Over time, this buildup impacts the flavor of your espresso.
Not ideal, right? That’s why regular cleaning is essential.
One key product for this: our group head cleaner.
Flush your machine every 3 months with this special cleaning powder to keep things fresh and your espresso tasting pure.
Use half a sachet in a portafilter with a blind filter to backflush your machine. Use the other half to make a cleaning solution for your portafilter head and filter basket.

Your cleaning routine
A clean machine is a happy machine. And a happy machine makes better coffee.
Here’s how to keep yours in top shape:
Weekly: Backflush with water. You’ll need a blind filter for this.
Quarterly: Descale your machine, clean your grinder, and freshen up your milk frother.
You’ll find all the maintenance tools you need to keep your espresso machine in perfect condition.
Heads up: When cleaning your portafilter head, make sure the wooden handle doesn’t touch the cleaning solution.
