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.

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.
