HOW TO BACKFLUSH
Prepare
You'll Need
-
An espresso machine
-
Biocaf Coffee Equipment Cleaning Powder
-
A blind filter basket for your portafilter
Dosage

Use 3 grams (1/2 tsp) of Coffee Equipment Cleaning Powder per grouphead.
Let's Do This!
STEP 1
Insert the blind basket into the portafilter.
STEP 2
Add 3 grams of Cafiza into the portafilter using the Scoopz dosing tool (1 scoop = 1.5 g).
STEP 3
Insert the portafilter into the group head.
STEP 4
Activate the brew cycle for 10 seconds. Stop the cycle after 10 seconds. Repeat this step 5 times.
STEP 5
Remove the portafilter from the group head. Activate the brew cycle and rinse the portafilter in a stream of water from the group head.
STEP 6
Insert the portafilter, still with the blind basket, into the group head without adding any cleaning product. Repeat Steps 3-5.
STEP 7
Remove the blind basket and insert the standard portafilter basket.
STEP 8
Brew a cup of espresso and discard it to ensure no residue remains.
