Cleaning Guidelines
Espresso machines need to be backflushed weekly with espresso machine cleaner to keep the
group head clean, prevent clogging and ensure optimal flavor.
Backflushing Instructions:
1. Replace the portafilter basket with the blind basket (non-perforated).
2. Add 1 teaspoon of espresso cleaner to the blind basket and load portafilter into the
group head.
3. Activate group head by pulling the brew lever to horizontal position and leave on for 30
seconds; turn it off and then wait for 1 minute (allowing detergent to soak).
4. Wash by activating group head for 10 seconds, then turn off. Repeat ten times.
5. Remove portafilter and rinse out the basket of any remaining detergent. Use brush to scrub
the screen and the surface of the gasket.
6. Replace portafilter for rinse. Turn on the group head for 10 seconds, then turn off. Repeat five
times, or as many times as you need for water to run clear.
7. When you’ve finished replace the blind basket with the brew basket and reload it into the
group head so it stays hot and ready for your next shot.
Espresso cleaner can also be used to soak baskets, portafilter heads, and dispersion screens.
This should be done at least once a month.
• Add 1 teaspoon to hot water in a vessel large enough to fill the water level to just below the
bottom of the portafilter handle.
• The handle will be damaged by the chemicals so ensure only the metal component is
submerged in the liquid.
• Soak items for 10-15 minutes before gently scrubbing and rinsing clean with water.
