Espresso machine cleaner „Puly Caff Plus®“ Powder, 900 g
„Puly Caff Plus®“ Powder — espresso machine cleaning powder
For daily cleaning of the group head, solenoid valve, filters and portafilters. 900 g tub with a dosing cap.
„Puly Caff Plus®“ Powder is a cleaning powder made in Italy by „Asachimici“ that keeps every espresso tasting clean. It removes coffee residues and grease deposits from the group head, its shower screen, the solenoid valve and the water passages, as well as from filters and portafilters, and keeps the machine free of unpleasant odours. Coffee oils — the oils that form the crema — oxidise within 12–18 hours, which is why the group is best cleaned every day.
The powder is NSF certified under Protocol P152, which assesses commercial espresso machine cleaners for health effects and corrosivity. Its raw materials are recognised by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the powder also inhibits scale build-up.
Where to use it
- Commercial espresso machine groups — the shower screen, solenoid valve and water passages are back-flushed with a blind filter.
- Filters and portafilters — soaked in a hot solution.
- Brew baskets and servers of filter coffee brewers.
- Cups and teapots — the powder lifts coffee, tea and lipstick stains and is gentle on porcelain.
How to use
Espresso machine group (daily):
Add powder
Put a teaspoon (3–5 g) of powder into the portafilter fitted with the blind filter and lock it into the group.
Run water
Run water for 10 s, stop for 10 s; repeat five times.
Rinse
Remove the portafilter and rinse it with hot water from the group.
Flush
Lock the portafilter back in and run five more 10 s flushes with clean water. Then fit the normal filter, make one espresso and pour it away.
Soaking filters and portafilters (daily):
Hot water
Pour a litre of very hot water into a container.
Add powder
Add 10 g (three teaspoons) of powder and put in the filters and portafilters.
After 15 minutes
Leave the parts to soak for 15 minutes, then take them out.
Rinse
Rinse the parts with hot drinking water.
Filter coffee brewer (daily): put 3–5 g of powder into the brew basket, run 2 L of water through the brewer and wait three minutes. Then rinse the basket and the server with cold drinking water.
Cups and teapots (once a month): soak them in hot water with 10 g of powder per litre for 15 minutes. Then wipe them with a clean cloth and rinse with drinking water.
One 900 g tub is enough for roughly 180–300 group cleanings (3–5 g each).
