Cleaning Guidelines

Coffee Capsules Machines and Coffee Pod Machines build up calcium deposits, old coffee oils, and coffee residue. These build-ups can cause your coffee pod machine to perform poorly, contaminating the taste of your coffee, and cause harm to your coffee capsule machine.

There are multiple ways to take care of your Pod machine in an easy and eco-friendly way. The first step would be to descale your coffee capsule machine. This will get rid of limescale, mineral deposits and rust. Use the Caffenu eco descaler Caffenu Eco Descaler, a premium eco-friendly descaling liquid to ensure hot, fresh tasting coffee.

Secondly, it is recommended to clean your brewing chamber, spout and nozzle by using a Caffenu cleaning capsule. Most pod machines will need the foaming action inside the capsule to get rid of old coffee oils, germs and bitter tannins that can ruin your next coffee.

If your machine has a milk container, such as the Nespresso Lattissima, or a steam wand, it would also be beneficial to use the Caffenu milk system cleaner to remove rancid milk build-ups.

Clean your capsule coffee machine regularly to extend the lifespan of your coffee equipment. That way you get full enjoyment from your cup of coffee, and overall better taste and better coffee flow.

Fully Automatic Coffee Machines and Super Automatic Coffee Machines build up dirty coffee oils and bitter tasting tannins over time, as well as milk blockages if your machine has a steam wand or milk circuit fitted on it. These build ups and rancid residues can cause your fully automatic bean to cup machine to misfunction or worse: it can ruin the taste of your next coffee and affect your health.

Prevention is easy. Take good care of your Fully Automatic and Super Automatic Coffee Machine with our environmentally friendly Coffee Machine Cleaning Range. The first step would be to clean the inside of the machine, the brew unit, as that is where your coffee is extracted. Use the appropriately-sized Caffenu Cleaning Tablets to remove germs & residue from the inside of brewing units.

The second step is proper descaling of your Fully Automatic Machine. Use the Caffenu Eco Descaler by simply adding descaler to water and run it through your water tank. This removes limescale and calcium residues from your pump, pipes and boiler. Regular descaling of your Super Automatic Coffee Machine will increase the lifespan of the coffee equipment and most importantly, give you hot coffee.

If your fully automatic machine has a steam wand, milk circuit, or milk container fitted onto the machine, it is recommended to use a specific Caffenu Milk System Cleaner. This prevents milk blockages and removes rancid milk stains in just a few moments.

Your commercial manual or semi-automatic Espresso Coffee Machine needs to be cleaned daily. Coffee is a very oily substance that leaves dirty layers and residue behind every time you make a cup. Be sure to free your espresso coffee machine of old coffee residues, oils and bitter tasting grounds, especially on the group heads, lines, and valves.

To ensure you always brew the best possible coffee, you need to clean your Espresso Coffee Machine with the Caffenu Coffee Machine Cleaning Powder. The Powder removes odours, dirty coffee oils, and also gets rid of bitter tannins from group heads so that you are only left with fresh-tasting coffee. Perfect for your daily backflush routine. Use Cleaning Tablets instead of Powder if you prefer easier dosing.

Use the Caffenu Cleaning Brush to assist you while running the Cleaning Powder or Tablets through your backflushing process. Simply use the brush to gently scrub groups heads, lines, and valves on your Espresso Coffee Machine. The Caffenu Cleaning Brush gets into hard-to-reach areas and removes nasty coffee stains.

For your steam wand, it is essential to use a Caffenu Milk System Cleaner that runs straight through the wand. This ensures hygiene and cleanliness of your milk, as no one likes the taste of old, rancid milk particles. They are not good for your health either. You can also use the Caffenu Milk System Cleaner to soak any other dairy equipment such as milk jugs if required.

Your Filter Coffee Machine requires regular descaling and cleaning to ensure you get that great-tasting coffee. Filter Coffee Machines suffer from limescale & calcium build-up as well as bitter coffee residue.

Descaling is a very important step to maintain Filter coffee machines. Use the Caffenu Eco Descaler for the descaling of your coffee machine. The Eco Descaler will prevent your coffee machine from getting blocked by limescale and ensure you have hot coffee, keeping the heating element free of mineral build-up.

For the best coffee taste, it is very important that you clear your Filter Coffee Machine of oily coffee residue. Use the environmentally friendly Caffenu Espresso Coffee Machine Cleaning Powder. It can be used to clean the brew channels of the filter coffee machine as well as filter trays and baskets. You can also use Cleaning Tablets instead for easy dosing.

Regular descaling and cleaning of your Filter Coffee Machine will extend the lifespan of your coffee equipment. Most importantly, you get the all important “aahh”, and “mmhh” sound when you enjoy your coffee or serve it to your customers.

Milk circuit and milk systems such as steam wands and automatic milk containers in super automatic coffee machines urgently need cleaning. Milk goes off very quickly and can lead to health issues if rancid milk residues are not removed regularly. Most milk circuits and steam wands suffer from milk stains, blockages and bacteria.

To prevent milk circuits and steam wands from being blocked and full of germs, use the Caffenu Liquid Milk System Cleaner. The Caffenu Milk System Cleaner sanitizes your milk system and kills 99% of bacteria, and is basically odourless. Regularly cleaning of your milk circuit ensures your cappuccino and latte are always made to perfection.

Added benefits of using the Caffenu Milk System Cleaner are that it increases the lifespan of your milk frothing system. It’s a win-win.
