COFFEE CLEAN - Espresso Coffee Machine Backflush / Cleaning Powder - 900g
REGULAR CLEANING MAINTAINS THE QUALITY OF ESPRESSO
Each time you brew delicious espresso using your coffee machine - a little of this delicious brew is left behind. Espresso oil residue accumulates in the brewing system, filter-holder and coffee filter basket. After only a few hours this coffee oil residue becomes stale - creating a nasty almost burnt taste.
If you have ever bought a coffee and experienced an unpleasant "burnt" taste - it is likely that the coffee machine was not clean. Equally if the coffee from your home or business espresso machine tastes burnt or stale - its time to clean it.
Use this powder to clean the brewing system(s), filter-holder(s), coffee filter basket(s), and shower screen(s) in your espresso machine - regular cleaning removes the coffee residue allowing you to brew the freshest and cleanest tasting espresso.

HOW TO BACKFLUSH YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE
NOTE: Ensure your Espresso Machine can be cleaned by backflushing - not all espresso machines are capable of being backflushed so it is important to know whether your machine has this ability before trying.
- Insert the blind coffee filter basket (one with no holes) into a filter-holder and lock this into the machine to heat up (the detergent works better with heat)
- Remove the filter-holder from the machine and fill the blind basket with 1 teaspoon (3-5 g) of espresso machine backflush / cleaning powder
- Connect the filter-holder to the espresso machine in the normal fashion
- Start the brewing cycle for 10 seconds and stop the brewing cycle for 10 seconds - repeat this operation 5 times
- This operation will transfer cleaner throughout the brewing system
- Now wait for 5-10 minutes - leave the filter-holder in the machine - cleaner is deposited throughout the brewing system - allow it to do its job
- After 5-10 minutes remove the filter-holder and rinse it clean
- Once again, connect the filter-holder to the espresso machine in the normal fashion
- Start the brewing cycle for 10 seconds and stop the brewing cycle for 10 seconds - repeat this operation 5 times
- This operation will flush the cleaner from the brewing system
- Done
HOW TO CLEAN FILTER-HOLDERS AND COFFEE BASKETS
- Remove coffee filter baskets from each filter-holder
- Fill a container with sufficient hot water to immerse the coffee filter baskets and the ends of each filter-holder where the baskets are inserted

- Immerse into the cleaning solution the coffee filter baskets and the ends of each filter-holder where the baskets are inserted
