Espresso machine cleaning powder „Urnex“ Cafiza2, 900 g
„Urnex“ Cafiza2 — coffee equipment cleaning powder
A large 900 g jar for cafés and restaurants that backflush their espresso group heads and soak parts every day.
„Urnex“ Cafiza2 is a concentrated cleaning powder for commercial coffee equipment. It breaks down coffee oils, tannins and residue in espresso machine group heads, valves and lines, and, dissolved in warm water, makes a soaking solution for portafilters, baskets and shower screens. The powder can also be used to clean filter coffee machines; the label includes instructions for them.
The 900 g jar suits cafés and restaurants that clean their machines every day. The powder is white, granular and odourless, and contains sodium carbonate and sodium percarbonate. Made in the USA.
Backflushing the group head
- Insert a blind filter into the portafilter and add 3 g of powder.
- Lock the portafilter into the group head, run the brew cycle for 10 seconds and stop for 10 seconds. Repeat five times.
- Remove the portafilter and rinse the group head thoroughly.
- Lock the portafilter back in without powder and repeat the cycle five more times: 10 s on, 10 s off.
- Replace the blind filter with a standard basket, then make one espresso to flush out any traces of cleaner and pour it away.
Soaking parts
Dissolve 6 g of powder in 1 L of warm water. Soak portafilters, baskets and shower screens for up to 30 minutes, then rinse them thoroughly with clean water.
Filter coffee machines
According to the pictograms on the label, put 3 g of powder in the brew basket and run a brew cycle into the airpot or jug. Then run clean water through the machine twice.
If your machine's manual gives a different cleaning procedure, follow it.
