Collection: Cleaning & Maintenance

Coffee oil left in the group head or on a puck screen goes rancid, and the next shot picks it up. None of this needs a full teardown. It's mostly a quick brush and an emptied knock box between sessions.

The angled cleaning brush sits inside the recess around the group head and basket rim, where a cloth alone won't reach, so grounds and old oil don't build up between cleans. The knock box holds several days of spent pucks in a 450ml ABS barrel with a base that grips the counter instead of skating when you knock the portafilter against the bar. Most people add one alongside a puck screen or a tamper.
