Cleaning your coffee equipment

How often do you clean your espresso machine and your grinder? 

Sometimes home-brewers get discouraged when their espressos aren’t as good as their first few ones were. Quite often, it’s just a matter of cleaning your equipment with the proper cleaning tools.

To properly sanitize your grinder, you should clean the hopper every day and use the grinder’s cleaning tablets.

To clean your espresso machine you should use a blind portafilter and a specific cleaning tablet. The steam wand should be cleaned after every single use to avoid stale milk getting stuck outside and inside the wand.
