COFFEE DOKTOR
Specialist Coffee Machine Repair Co.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning your coffee machine is very important and should be done continuously throughout the day by purging your steamer and cleaning excess milk and coffee from the machine.
​
Your espresso machine might not always need a repair and can sometimes in certain circumstances be a less serious more simple issue and repairs or parts are not necessary, always ask or call us for help. We do not charge for phone advice.
​
The coffee machine might differ from business to business but the premise is the same. Look after the asset that is producing income. A coffee machine needs back flushing every night without fail.
Not back flushing your coffee machine can block the shower plates and put pressure on the pump and motor that most commercial coffee machines have.
​
Coffee machines need regular maintenance not only from engineers but the barista which can greatly reduce repair costs and callouts to the engineer.
The barista has a very important role to play in keeping the coffee machine in good condition and keeping wear and tear on parts to a minimum.
"Clean your machine more often and you will see me a lot less often!"
Clean Me.....Please!!
Your Coffee Machine milk steamer does not need cleaning in the same way as the machine on a daily basis as such but more wiping and correct use throughout the day and when in use each time milk is steamed.
​
Purging your steam wand and wiping after each use the Milk Steamer can stay perfectly clean forever and can help reduce repairs needed.
If for some reason milk does contaminate your boiler you will need to call an engineer to clean your boiler and this can take many hours.
The Coffee Doktor recommends Puly Caff as a cleaning powder for back flushing your coffee machine on a daily basis.
Coffee once heated and cooled can become very harmful to the machine if left without back flushing or using the correct products.
​
A popular reason for a callout or repair to a coffee machine can be bad cleaning methods.
To reduce repairs and the need for an engineer to visit please ask for help and advice about how to clean the espresso machine.
