Backflushing with the Espresso Machine Cleaning Powder
Cleaning the brew head is easy by backflushing with only half a sachet. For this, use a blind filter: a closed filter basket specifically designed to flush the brew group. Detailed instructions are included to guide you through this process. Additionally, always check the instruction manual of your espresso machine. Ideally, backflush with cleaner at least once every quarter.
Espresso Machine Cleaning Powder for your portafilter
Use the remaining half of the packet to clean your portafilter head and filter basket. Residual coffee grounds and oils in your portafilter will adversely affect your extraction and thus, the taste of your coffee. Let the portafilter head and filter basket soak in a mixture of 500 ml hot water and cleaning powder. Make sure the wooden handle of the portafilter does not come into contact with the water and cleaning agent.
How often should you backflush your espresso machine?
We recommend backflushing your espresso machine at least every quarter. However, this frequency may vary depending on machine and usage, making it difficult to offer universally applicable advice. If you notice your coffee tasting funny or your brew head just looking like it could use a cleaning, there is no harm in backflushing more often, perhaps even weekly. Always refer to the manual of your espresso machine for any specific guidelines.
