Barista Supplies Recommend Preventative Maintenance on Coffee Machines

Anyone who owns an espresso machine or coffee grinder would be aware that they need to take care of their investment, and the team at Barista Supplies recommend preventative maintenance measures so that equipment will perform better and last longer.  However, opinions may differ as to these maintenance measures, so Barista Supplies have some ideas, which they call ‘Barista Essentials 101’.

Barista Supplies can provide various cleaning products, brushes, service parts and more and will help people to source hard-to-find components or at least send them in the right direction. Coffee tools are designed to clean the group heads of an espresso machine, and these stylish micro hand brushes can keep your hands cool by deflecting water from certain angles while you scrub. They also supply replacement brush heads.

Grinder brushes are ideal for clearing chunks and granules from grinder blades and chambers as well as keeping your benchtop and general work space tidy. Some variations of the grinder brush have low handle profiles to reach the nooks and crannies of an espresso machine. Steam wand brushes help to remove hard water deposits without scraping or scratching soft metal. The ergonomic T-handle is comfortable to use, and there are a range of different sizes to suit your equipment.

Cleaning cloths are a barista’s best friend to wipe benchtops, work surfaces, coffee machine cases—whatever needs a clean. If you are concerned about abrasive material scratching stainless steel they also stock microfibre cloths that are fluffy and soft.

While sanitary innovations in the café trade can improve workplace efficiency, save water and enhance the primary product, the barista should consider adding milk jug rinsers to their essentials checklist. Milk jug rinsers are easy to use. Just place a glass or jug face-down on the black star and press down gently to activate the pressure valve; water will drip down into the embedded drain and voila!

Variations of milk jug rinsers include flush mount, countertop and side spray. Barista Supplies also supply rinser disk replacements and all the spare parts to suit.
