Urnex Espresso Machine Starter Kit

This kit is designed for espresso machines equipped with a 3-way solenoid valve, which is required for the backflushing process using the included blank basket and Cafiza powder. It is safe for use on stainless steel components.

Cafiza should be used regularly for backflushing to remove coffee oils and residue, while Dezcal is intended for periodic descaling to remove mineral buildup from your boiler. The frequency depends on your water hardness and how often you use your machine.

Yes, both products are formulated specifically for espresso equipment. Cafiza is NSF certified for metal compatibility and safety, and Dezcal is a non-toxic, biodegradable solution that is safe for your machine's internal components.

The blank basket is a solid, non-perforated filter basket used during the backflushing process. It prevents water from passing through, forcing the cleaning solution back through the machine's internal valves to dissolve built-up coffee oils.

While they are primarily designed with 1 oz and 2 oz markings for precise espresso extraction, they are standard glass vessels and can be used for any purpose you would use a small measuring glass for.
