The perfect care for your espresso machine: cleaning and descaling with lujoCLEAN
A good espresso doesn't just start with the best coffee bean varieties and the perfect machine – regular cleaning and descaling of your equipment is also crucial for the optimal taste experience and the longevity of your machine. At la barista, we offer you the perfect helpers with the products lujoCLEAN Cleaning Powder and lujoCLEAN Descaler to keep your espresso machine in top shape. Here you will learn how to use both products correctly and what makes them so special.
1. The Barista Cleaning Powder – The quick solution for grease-free brew groups
'The cleaning powder from La Barista has been specially developed to remove coffee fats and oils from your espresso machine. If you've ever noticed that the taste of your coffee is no longer as fresh and pure as it was at the beginning, then it's likely that the brew group of your portafilter machine is affected by deposits. This is where the cleaning powder comes into play.'
Application:
- Depending on the degree of soiling, add a small amount of the cleaning powder to the blind sieve.
- Rinse the brew group several times to remove all coffee fats and residues.
- Tip: For loose parts like the filter holder head, sieves, or filters, you can dissolve the powder in hot water and let the parts soak for 60 minutes. Then simply rinse with clear water – done!
With this application, you not only clean the brew group, but also ensure a significantly improved taste experience, as no residues of old coffee varieties will settle in your machine.
2. lujoCLEAN Descaler – For a long lifespan of your espresso machine
Water is the most important component of a good espresso – but unfortunately also the most common reason for a calcified machine. Limescale deposits can impair the performance of your machine over time and even lead to damage. With the lujoCLEAN descaler, you can quickly and easily get your machine back in shape.
Application:
- Mix 250 ml of the descaler with 600 ml of water.
- Fill the tank of your machine with this solution and start the descaling process by running the machine. Let the descaler mixture sit for about 30 to 40 seconds and repeat the process until no green residues are visible.
- "After the descaling process is complete, rinse the tank several times with clear water to remove any residues. Your machine is ready for use again immediately."
The lujoCLEAN descaler is based on natural citric acid, which reliably removes limescale deposits without leaving any residues and does not attack sensitive components in your machine. Additionally, it is particularly environmentally friendly and gentle on nature.
Why use both products together?
To get the best out of your espresso machine, you should regularly use both the cleaning powder and the descaler. The cleaning powder ensures the cleanliness of the brew group and removes stubborn coffee oils, while the descaler protects your machine from the harmful effects of limescale. Combined, these two products extend the lifespan of your machine and always guarantee you a fresh, aromatic coffee.
With lujoCLEAN, you choose a high-quality, efficient care product specifically designed for your espresso machine – ensuring that every coffee is a delight!
