Cleaning & Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

Wipe and purge the steam wand after each use to prevent milk buildup, rinse portafilters and filter baskets, clean the drip tray, and backflush the group head to remove coffee oils and residue.

Weekly Maintenance

Soak portafilters, baskets, and shower screens in an approved cleaning solution, inspect group head gaskets and screens, and perform a deeper backflush to keep internal components clean.

Long-Term Care

Maintain proper water filtration to prevent scale buildup and descale the machine as needed based on water quality and usage to ensure long-lasting performance and consistent espresso quality.

Plumbing Requirements

For this single-boiler espresso machine, we recommend using a BWT Single Cartridge Water Filter or a comparable inline filtration system designed to reduce hardness, chlorine, and sediment. Regular filter replacement based on water usage and local water quality is strongly advised to extend the life of the machine and preserve flavor clarity.

Power Requirements
  • Voltage: 110V
  • Wattage: 1600W
  • Electrical: Standard North American outlet (dedicated circuit recommended)

Summary: It can run on a standard 110V outlet, making it well suited for coffee carts, small cafés, offices, and home espresso bars. Because it draws 1600 watts, it’s best to plug it into a dedicated 15–20 amp circuit, especially if you’re running other equipment (grinder, fridge, hot water tower) nearby. This setup is ideal for mobile coffee carts, where higher-voltage (220V) power isn’t always available.
