![]() Get some skinny tube brushes and baking soda, or an espresso cleaner like BioCaf, Caffiza, etc. Keep the water reservoir clean, allow it to dry out occassionally and wipe the inside with a paper towel to see if its actually clean. This will eventually collect inside the tubing and pumps of the machine. After one year, and depending on humidty levels in the home, it started to show signs of mold in the lower brew group area.Īnother issue I've seen is the water reservoirs will look clean, but have a micro film of scum that has built up inside. I saw it first hand in my personally refurbished Jura Micro 5 which I did a complete teardown and sanitizaition. ![]() What I noticed on all machines is neglecting to keep the dredge or grounds tray clean, this can contribute to mold groth in the machine. The alternative is learning how to service your own machines. The Delonghi is designed similiar to the Saeco, removeable brew group is a great feature for those less inclined to spend money on sending it in for professional service. The Jura's are good machines, but lack the ease of longterm at home maintenace since the brew group aka brew infuser cannot be easily serviced. This one had a good amount of scale build up. I also managed to find a good deal on a commercial grade Italian made Quick Mill Monza Evo Deluxe, at the time of its release it was used by over 200 McDonalds McCafe's in Italy.Īdding to the collection I also have a Breville Dual Boiler 920XL, acquired with about 1500 shot count. In the last few years I acquired several machines, a few Jura, one Saeco Sirus S-Class, most recently a Delonghi Eletta that was 5 years old with over 5000 coffee's made. I've seen many machines that are abused since their users get too comfortable with the convenience and ignore regular or longterm maintenance. Since I try not buy new unless its a compelling deal like someone selling a gifted machine, I'll usually buy second hand working or not. Welcome to the club This is a fine start.ĭepending on the make and model, these can certainly pull some decent coffees.
