Espresso Machines To clean an Espresso machine just go after these steps:

1. Remove the group handle from the espresso machine and empty the coffee puck into a rubbish bin. Rinse the group handle with warm water.


2. Pour your chosen cleaning way out into the clean basket in the group handle. With your espresso device ready to prepare, put the group handle in the espresso machine just like you were going to brew some coffee.

3. With a bowl under the group handle, start the machine and begin pulling the 'shots'.

4. Leave the machine on for about five seconds. Then stop for ten seconds, then on again for five seconds. Repeat this process another six times.

5. Now remove the group handle from the machine and rinse with warm water.

6. Revolve your machine on without the group handle in. This will fully rinse the collection itself.

You can also use vinegar and water once (or twice if really dirty), and then water at least twice to rinse. If you do this regularly (once a month, you will never have a problem. This really helps!

DO NOT USE BLEACH. It is usually used to kill mold which you should not have. You are correct that it is dangerous, heat bleach up you get chlorine gas just a tad hard on the lungs.

DO NOT USE BAKING SODA. Would clog it up nicely. Baking soda is used as a deodorizer.

VINEGAR is used because it is weak acid, therefore it will dissolve mineral deposits in the machine. Just make sure to flush out the unit thoroughly after cleaning unless you enjoy vinegary espresso.
