Why Cleaning Your Espresso Machine Matters & How to Do It Right

A clean espresso machine is key to great coffee. Residue from oils, coffee grounds, and mineral deposits can affect taste and damage your machine over time. Regular cleaning ensures consistent flavour, better performance, and a longer lifespan for your equipment.

How to Clean It:

  1. Daily: Flush group heads, wipe and purge the steam wand, and empty the drip tray.
  2. Weekly: Backflush with a cleaning agent, scrub portafilters, and soak baskets.
  3. Monthly: Descale to remove mineral build-up and inspect seals for wear.

A little maintenance goes a long way—keep it clean for coffee that’s always on point.
