‘Everybody’ knows that a delicious brew is the result of a complex equation: beans, roast, water, grind, brewing window, method/recipe and… clean equipment.
That’s right: clean equipment.
Over time, coffee oils, grounds, water scales and other particles can end up attached to the walls, pipes and nasty corners of our brewing gear. Some devices like pour-over drippers are relatively easy to clean—a good rinse or dishwasher cycle does well. But others take a bit more commitment.
Our online shop has a handful of dedicated products that will help with this most boring but essential side of the coffee brewing craft.
First things first: read the manual
Each piece of brewing equipment is different, and each manufacturer has different recommendations. Get familiar with what they say before you use any product or cleaning method.
Cafetto Brew Clean
Removes coffee oils and stains in filter coffee brew baskets, servers and air/vac/coffee pots.
Cafetto Liquid Organic Descaler
Designed to decalcify (get rid of lime or scale) espresso machine water tanks and other brewing equipment that is in touch with hot water, like kettles.
Cafetto Espresso Clean
Specifically made for cleaning espresso group heads using the blind coffee basket (that is, a basket with no holes). Not all home espresso machines have one, so it’s always a good idea anyway to check your machine’s manual for how to do this.
Cafetto Grinder Clean
Helps remove any build-up of stale coffee residue and odours, reducing blockages between burrs and internal chambers.
Cafetto Inverso Milk Jug Cleaner
Targets and removes dried milk residues from stainless steel milk jugs, pitchers and steam wands—any part that works with warm milk, whether stainless steel or glass.
All these products, and maybe more in the future, are in the cleaning section of our online shop (and also stocked at the St Peters Pro Shop). There’s more info about each of them on their link/page.
Any doubts or product requests, just let us know—as always!
Stay clean. Stay delicious.
