How to clean your Boema coffee machine?

Cleaning a Boema commercial coffee machine regularly and thoroughly is essential for hygiene, optimal taste, and maintaining equipment longevity. Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to clean a commercial coffee machine properly:

1. Turn Off and Unplug the Boema Coffee Machine (if applicable)

• For safety, switch off and unplug or isolate the power source before cleaning.

2. Clean and Flush Group Heads

• Remove portafilters and rinse them under warm water.

• Use a cleaning brush to scrub away coffee residue from the shower screen inside the group head.

• Insert a blind basket (filter basket without holes) into the portafilter, add a teaspoon of Boema coffee machine cleaner (such as Cafiza), lock it in, and run a backflush routine:

  • Run water for 10 seconds, pause, repeat several times.

  • Empty, rinse, and repeat with clean water to flush cleaner residue out.

3. Steam Wand Cleaning

• After each use, wipe the steam wand with a clean, damp cloth.

• Purge steam wand by briefly activating steam to expel milk residue from inside the wand.

• At the end of the day:

  • Use warm water to thoroughly clean steam wands.

  • Soak the steam wand tip in warm water or cleaning solution if residue persists.

4. Drip Tray and Drain

• Remove and empty the drip tray, washing it with warm, soapy water.

• Rinse thoroughly and dry before reassembling.

5. Portafilters and Filter Baskets

• Wash daily with warm water and mild detergent or coffee machine cleaning solution.

• Rinse thoroughly, ensuring no soap residue remains.

6. Wipe Exterior Surfaces

• Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap or cleaning spray specifically designed for stainless steel.

• Dry thoroughly with a microfiber towel to prevent streaking.
