In a busy café, your coffee machine and equipment work just as hard as your baristas. And just like them, they need the right care to keep performing at their best. Baristas spend years perfecting the art of extraction and nailing that silky latte art - so why wouldn't you put the same care into your machine and coffee equipment?
Good news: investment doesn't always mean spending big. A solid cleaning schedule with high-quality, reliable products is all it takes to keep your machine running like a dream (and your coffee tasting incredible, which is what keeps our sanity intact).
After 21 years in the game, we know what it takes to keep things running smoothly in a fast paced café. So much so, that we've created a guide we like to call: Cleaning Smarter Not Harder. 🫧
Three words? Daily Non-Negotiables. Here's what we mean: 👇
Espresso Machine Maintenance ☕
Daily espresso machine maintenance is essential for consistent coffee quality and long-lasting equipment. With Cafetto Evo® Espresso Machine Cleaner, simply apply it to the group handle to effortlessly break down stubborn build-up and maintain optimal extraction. For high-volume cafés, working smarter means doing quick backflushes between shifts. Saving time while ensuring complete cleanliness without extra effort. It’s all about staying efficient and keeping your machine performing at its best with minimal hassle.
Grinder Care ⚙️
We've got news for you, and size does matter...grind size that is. But so does keeping old grounds away. Residual build-up leads to contamination, affects flavour and causes mechanical strain to your grinder. The fix? A quick daily clean with Cafetto Grinder Cleaner during the end of day pack-down, paired with a light brush for top to bottom cleanliness.
Milk Cleaning 🥛
Keeping your milk system clean is key to both hygiene and milk quality. Residual buildup in steam wands and frothers can lead to bacteria and off-flavours. Regular use of Cafetto MFC® Blue ensures your system stays free of blockages and performs at its best. Here’s how:
For daily maintenance, a simple purge and rinse-through might not cut it in high-output environments. To work smarter, include Cafetto MFC® Blue in your routine - it'll break down stubborn milk residues quickly and effectively. This solution keeps your machine running smoothly, ensuring a cleaner system and meeting food safety standards without the extra effort.
