Using Puly CAFF cleaning powder for backflushing your espresso machine's group head helps produce cleaner espresso shots, reduces clogs, and offers numerous benefits.
Instructions for Use (Backflushing):
Prepare: Replace the standard filter basket in your portafilter with a blind filter.
Dose: Place a small amount of cleaning powder into the blind filter basket.
Cycle: Start the brew cycle for 5-7 seconds, then stop the cycle and let it sit for 5-10 seconds (allowing the pressure to release).
Rinse (Initial): Remove the portafilter and quickly rinse away the dirty water/solution accumulated in the blind filter.
Repeat: Repeat steps 3 and 4 several times until the water coming out of the portafilter/blind filter runs completely clear.
