These steps are for a commercial or semi-commercial backflushable espresso machine only.
1). Using Coffeetool's on-board detergent spoon, place a spoonful or less of JoeGlo (or your favourite backflush detergent) into a "blind insert" (without holes) in your portafilter handle.
2). Attach the portafilter to the group and start backflushing your machine following the instructions on your detergent package.
3). When it’s time to flush out the system, run the group and start scrubbing the shower screen and the nooks and crannies of your group with Coffeetool. This is the best time to use Coffeetool as the hot running water helps wash away spent grounds, rancid coffee resins, flavours and odours. The benefit of using coffeetool is apparent at this stage as your hands stay cool and dry.
4). Backflush your machine again, this time without detergent. And repeat step #3.
5). Use the steam wand vent poker to unclog steam wand vent holes that have become clogged with dried milk residue or other debris (rust, hard water deposits, etc.) from inside your steam wand.
6). Use Coffeetool anytime throughout the day to keep your group clean and your coffee tasting great.

How often should I use Coffeetool?
|
|
Use Coffeetool to as often as you like. The important thing is to keep your group head clean throughout the day. Some top baristas use Coffeetool to clean spent grounds from the shower screen after every shot.
