Espresso Machine Cleaning (Daily Backflush)

~2 min14 steps

Why this matters

A dirty machine makes bitter coffee and wears out gaskets early. This end-of-day clean takes about 15 minutes on a two-group machine.

You'll need

  • Blind basket (no holes)
  • Espresso machine cleaning powder or tablets
  • Group head brush
  • Clean cloths
  • Container for soaking

Tap Start and go through it like a new hire. Nothing is saved.
