It is important to keep your Saeco Espresso Machine clean so the machine and its parts keep working properly and so that coffee tastes good.
More detailed cleaning instructions for your espresso machine can be found in the user manual. We have added some general instruction videos below on how to clean your machine and its parts.
Always make sure that you clean the milk circuit system in your coffee machine. Try to prevent milk from drying up in it, as dried up milk is difficult to remove. Cleaning the brew group The brew group needs weekly and monthly maintenance. Our instructional video below explains how to do this.
• Weekly cleaning: Rinse your machine's brew group using lukewarm water
