Proper machine maintenance requires a dedicated set of cleaning Accessories. At minimum you need: espresso machine group cleaner (such as Cafiza or Puly Caff), a blind basket for backflushing, a group head brush for scrubbing the shower screen and gasket area, a steam wand brush or pipe cleaners for clearing milk residue, and a portafilter basket soak container. For descaling, use a manufacturer-approved descaling solution matched to your machine type. Coffee Machine Depot stocks all essential cleaning Accessories compatible with every machine brand we carry — maintaining a proper cleaning routine is the most cost-effective way to protect your espresso equipment investment.
