Go beyond the daily rinse and give your espresso machine the deep clean it deserves. This free, printable guide takes you step-by-step through a full system clean—ideal for weekly or bi-weekly maintenance depending on use. Designed for both home users and café pros, this process targets the hidden buildup that daily cleaning can miss.
Split into two clear parts, the guide covers everything: disassembling and cleaning group heads, properly backflushing with Cafiza, soaking removable parts like portafilters, baskets, and screens, and finishing with steam wand maintenance using Rinza. You'll also get reminders to avoid common mistakes—like backflushing without your screen in place.
The full deep clean takes about 20–30 minutes and helps extend the life of your machine while protecting flavor quality. Keep your espresso tasting clean and your gear performing like new.
