Cleaning the Espresso Machine
Cleaning the frothing arm and nozzle
Keeping the Espresso Machine clean is vital to brewing the best espresso possible. You
might notice that your machine is taking longer to brew, or the brew head is spewing or
sputtering. These can be signs that it’s time to clean your Espresso Machine. Stale coffee
oils on the portafilter, filter baskets, and shower screen will ruin the flavor of the most
expertly prepared coffee, and any milk left on the frothing arm should be removed for
best performance and taste.
1
Turn off the Espresso Machine� Unplug
the Espresso Machine from the wall
outlet, or disconnect power� Let the
Espresso Machine, and any attached
parts or accessories, cool�
2
The frothing arm and nozzle should
always be cleaned after milk is frothed.
Remove the frothing sleeve from the
frothing nozzle by pulling it downward.
The frothing sleeve can be washed
in warm, soapy water� Make sure
any openings in the sleeve are free
of residue�
3
Wipe the frothing arm and nozzle with
a clean damp cloth� Do not use an
abrasive scouring pad.
4
Plug into a grounded outlet and turn on
the Espresso Machine; let the boilers
reach operating temperature� Point the
frothing arm into an empty cup and
momentarily open the steam dial to run
steam through the frothing nozzle� This
will clean the nozzle tip�
