Urnex Puro Espresso Machine Cleaner

For optimal performance, you should perform a backflush with Puro powder daily if you use your machine regularly. This prevents coffee oils from building up inside the group head and affecting the flavor of your shots.

Yes, it is quite versatile. Beyond backflushing espresso machines, you can use it to soak portafilters, filter baskets, and even clean other brewing vessels like French presses or drip coffee carafes to remove stubborn residue.

Puro is specifically formulated to be safe for stainless steel components. However, always check your machine manufacturer's manual before cleaning to ensure there are no specific restrictions on using chemical cleaners for your particular model.

For soaking portafilters or other removable parts, a dwell time of 30 minutes is recommended to effectively break down oils and buildup. Always rinse the parts thoroughly with fresh water after soaking to ensure no residue remains.

When used correctly and rinsed thoroughly, it will not leave any aftertaste. In fact, it improves the taste of your coffee by removing old, rancid oils that can make fresh coffee taste bitter or stale.
