Puly Caff Cleaning Powder

For optimal performance and to prevent buildup, we recommend backflushing your machine with Puly Caff at the end of every day of use. If you use your machine less frequently, a weekly cleaning routine is sufficient to keep the group head and valves clear.

Yes, it is excellent for that. Simply soak your portafilters and baskets in a solution of hot water and Puly Caff to break down stubborn coffee oils and stains that scrubbing alone might miss.

Puly Caff is formulated for professional and semi-pro machines that require backflushing. It is safe for most standard espresso machines, but always check your manufacturer's manual to ensure your specific model supports chemical backflushing.

You only need a small amount—typically 3 to 5 grams per group head. Using more than the recommended amount doesn't improve cleaning power and can make it harder to rinse the detergent out of the system.

Puly Caff is designed to reduce limescale buildup in the group head and water circuits, but it is primarily a detergent for coffee oils and residue. If you live in a hard water area, you should still perform a dedicated descaling cycle with a specialized descaler periodically.
