  Coffee cleaning liquid 

This specially formulated coffee cleaning liquid dissolves coffee oils and helps remove coffee sediments that accumulate over a period when espresso water dries, become hard and difficult to remove. Use this cleaning liquid to dissolve oils and disintegrate the sediment for easy removal. (DO NOT USE BLUE LIQUID FOR DESCALING)

12-Oz. plastic bottle  = $6.00

lcc.pngApplication:

1-Soak a piece of cloth and wipe coffee stains. For stubborn stains, soak for 2-5 minutes and wipe.

2- Dried up layers of coffee inside the filter holder cup look disgusting and contribute bad taste to fresh espresso. Soak the filter holder for a few minutes in blue liquid. Flush with water. Old and dried layers of deposits may take more than one applications.

 3- Saeco portafilters (pressurized or Gran Crema) should not be opened from the bottom screws to clean. Use blue liquid to flush the coffee & oil deposits by flushing the valves inside with blue liquid. To flush the filter cup & inside of the cup holder, place 2 teaspoonfuls of liquid cleaner in the filter cup, hook it up in the group head and make one large espresso without coffee. Hot water will flush the cleaning liquid through the basket filter and remove oils and sediments instantly. For stubborn deposits in the holes of filter cup, soak the filter cup for an hour or two and make an espresso without coffee to flush the holes clean.

2- Pour 2 to 3  teaspoonfuls of blue liquid (just the blue liquid - no coffee) directly into the compacting chamber (In Saeco fully automatic machines other than Vienna line, use the pre-ground coffee chute for blue liquid)  and quickly make a large decaf espresso.

3- Follow the blue liquid cycle with two or more large decaf espresso cycles without coffee, just to flush the blue liquid from brew group.

4- Flush the brew group by making two final long espresso shots to flush the cleaning liquid out.
