HOW TO
KEEP YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER
Before an espresso machine can
produce a quality drink, it must have a constant supply of quality
water. A water filtration system should be in place for the espresso
machine and it must be regularly serviced. Many filters reduce their
water flow as they deteriorate and this can cause costly damage to your
machine. In addition, if a water softener is in place, it must be
regenerated on a regular basis.
How To Backflush an Espresso
Machine

1 – Remove the filter basket from
the group handles and soak these in hot water, and leave them overnight.
2 – With the group handle
removed, gently clean the group seal and the shower using a circular
motion with a brush, this to remove all the visible coffee powder in the
group.
3 – Remove the double filter from
the double filter holder and fit your blind filter .
4 – With the blind filter fitted,
add some cleaning liquid to the blind filter. Place this into the
espresso machine and press the espresso button like how you do to make a
normal espresso. Allow this to run for 5 seconds, and repeat it for 10
times.
5 – Remove the group handle from
the espresso machine and run the machine for 5 seconds without any
cleaner.
6 – This will remove the espresso
cleaner and any coffee oil from the coffee machine groups. This is very
important because if not washed out, the espresso cleaner will taint the
first couple of coffees made the next day.
7 – Once a week the group handles
should be soaked in hot water to remove the coffee oils. Do this by
placing them with the handle up, in a large bowl type container and fill
with boiling water just to the top of the metal baskets. Make sure that
the filter holder rubber handles are not in the water as this can damage
them. Add to this one teaspoon of espresso cleaning liquid and leave
overnight.
8 – The following day rinse the
handles thoroughly with fresh water to remove any cleaner.
Following these simple steps will
remove the coffee and coffee oils build up in the coffee machine group
and ensure that you are selling the best tasting coffees.
Other daily maintenance should
include, purging and cleaning of the steam wands with warm soapy water
and a non-abrasive cloth to remove all milk residue.
As a final daily routine, the
drain tray should be removed and a jug of hot water should be poured
into the drain cup to help rinse accumulated coffee grounds out of the
cup and down through the drain hose.
Even with regular back flushing,
the group head shower screens must be periodically replaced, as coffee
oils will eventually build up and clog the screen. You may notice your
espresso shots tasting less than perfect as a result. Another sure sign
of screen build-up is water spraying out in all directions rather than
an even and constant flow while running the group with the filter holder
removed. Either of these should prompt you to replace the screens, which
can be done quite easily.
Performing regular maintenance
will not only ensure quality that you and your customers can taste, but
will help alleviate costly repair bills. Although you should have your
equipment periodically inspected by a factory-trained technician, there
are many minor adjustments and simple repairs that any owner/operator
could perform with a small quantity of tools, saving you valuable time
and money. Even if you choose not to perform any repairs yourself, the
information presented will make it much easier for you to communicate
problems to your technician and in turn, save you money on diagnosis and
repair.
