CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the Espresso Machine

Keeping the Espresso Machine clean is vital to brewing the best espresso possible. You might notice that your machine is taking longer to brew, or the brew head is spewing or sputtering. These can be signs that it’s time to clean your Espresso Machine. Stale coffee oils on the portafilter, filter baskets, and shower screen will ruin the flavor of the most expertly prepared coffee, and any milk left on the frothing arm should be removed for best performance and taste.
