What is Urnex Cafiza?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCafiza is a concentrated espresso-machine cleaning powder designed to remove coffee oils and residue from groupheads, valves, lines and compatible removable components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2. How much Cafiza is in the jar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jar contains 566 grams, or 20 ounces, of cleaning powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3. How much Cafiza should I use for a backflush?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUrnex specifies up to 3 grams, approximately one-half teaspoon, for a traditional espresso-machine backflush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e4. How do I use Cafiza for soaking espresso parts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix 6 grams of powder per litre of hot water, soak compatible parts for approximately 30 minutes and rinse thoroughly with fresh water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e5. Can I soak a complete portafilter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUrnex advises against submerging the portafilter handle. Soak only the compatible metal portion and rinse thoroughly afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e6. Can Cafiza clean filter baskets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Filter baskets can be soaked in the recommended Cafiza solution and then rinsed thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e7. Can Cafiza clean shower screens?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Compatible removable espresso-machine screens can be cleaned using the recommended soaking solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e8. Is Cafiza a descaler?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Cafiza is designed primarily to remove coffee oils and brewing residue. Mineral-scale removal requires an appropriate descaling product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e9. Can Cafiza be used to clean a coffee grinder?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Use a dedicated grinder-cleaning product designed to pass safely through grinder burrs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e10. Can Cafiza clean a milk frother or milk circuit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCafiza is not the dedicated product for milk-system cleaning. Use an appropriate milk-system cleaner for milk-contact components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e11. Can I backflush every espresso machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Backflush only an espresso machine whose manufacturer specifically supports backflushing with a blind filter or cleaning basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e12. Is Cafiza odorless?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Urnex specifies Cafiza Powder as odorless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e13. Is Cafiza NSF certified?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Urnex currently lists Cafiza Powder as Kosher pareve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e15. Do I need to rinse the machine after using Cafiza?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The backflush procedure includes multiple clean-water rinse cycles after the cleaning cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e16. Why do I need to discard an espresso after cleaning?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUrnex instructs users to prepare and discard one espresso after backflushing to help ensure that any remaining cleaner has been removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e17. How often should I use Cafiza?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning frequency depends on your espresso machine, coffee volume and manufacturer maintenance schedule. Commercial environments generally require more frequent cleaning than occasional residential use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e18. Can I use Cafiza on an automatic espresso machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse only the cleaning method and cleaning product format specified by the automatic-machine manufacturer. Many automatic machines require a particular tablet size rather than loose powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e19. Does Cafiza remove mineral scale from the boiler?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Use a manufacturer-approved descaling product when mineral-scale removal is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e20.

Standard E61 heat exchanger machines typically require 15–20 minutes to fully warm up before the first shot. The Luce Fast significantly cuts this wait — without compromising the thermal stability or extraction quality that makes E61 machines the reference for prosumer espresso. It's the primary reason to choose the Luce Fast over the standard Luce S PID.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the Bezzera Luce Fast and the Bezzera Magica?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eThe Luce Fast is the direct evolution of the Bezzera Magica E61 — it replaces it. Both are built on the same E61 heat exchanger platform with a 2L copper boiler. The Luce Fast adds what the Magica never had: the Fast Heating System, PID temperature control, an integrated digital shot timer, and an externally adjustable OPV. If you loved the Magica, the Luce Fast is the natural upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWhat is a heat exchanger (HX) espresso machine?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA heat exchanger machine has a single large boiler filled with hot water for steaming and hot water dispensing. Inside that boiler runs a smaller tube of brew water — the heat exchanger — which is heated by surrounding boiler water as it passes through, then delivered to the group for extraction. This architecture allows simultaneous brewing and steaming, unlike single-boiler machines that require switching between the two. The large boiler also provides exceptional steam power and recovery speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eCan the Bezzera Luce Fast be plumbed in to a direct water line?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eNo. The Luce Fast is a tank-only machine with a 4-litre removable reservoir. It cannot be connected to a direct water line. The 4L tank is among the largest in any home prosumer machine in its class and is designed for easy refilling from the open top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the externally adjustable OPV allow me to do?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eThe OPV (over-pressure valve) controls the maximum brew pressure delivered to the puck. On the Luce Fast it's accessible via a single screw beneath the cup tray — no tools beyond a screwdriver required, and no need to open the machine. You can adjust it anywhere from 4 to 13 bar to suit your preferred extraction style, your grind, or specific bean characteristics. Most users set it between 8–9 bar for traditional espresso, but lower-pressure profiles (6–7 bar) are increasingly popular for lighter roasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eIs the Bezzera Luce Fast compatible with an optional flow control kit?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eYes. The E61 group on the Luce Fast supports an optional flow control device, which allows you to manually vary water flow during extraction for advanced profiling. This is available as a separate accessory. Contact us for availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWhich colour should I choose?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eAll four colours — Chrome (Stainless), Matte Black, Matte White, and Matte Green — are RAL-coded panels on the same machine. The price is identical across all finishes. Chrome suits classic or mixed-material kitchens; Matte Black makes a bold statement; Matte White is clean and modern; Matte Green is a distinctive choice that pairs beautifully with optional wood accessory kits. All four can be further customized with wood accents sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eHow do I maintain the Bezzera Luce Fast?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eThe Luce Fast requires regular backflushing with the included blind basket and espresso machine cleaner (recommended weekly for daily users), periodic descaling based on your water hardness, and occasional steam wand cleaning. The E61 group's thermosiphon keeps the group clean through natural hot water circulation. As with all E61 machines, using filtered or softened water significantly extends component life.
