Clean the Brew Group – That’s How It Works

Clean the brewing group: possible with many models

In cheaper fully automatic coffee machines, the brewing group is often permanently installed and cannot be removed. Here you are completely dependent on the cleaning program of the machine. The brew group is then often cleaned with the usual cleaning program.

• More expensive models usually offer the possibility to expand the brewing group. This allows you to clean the component much more intensively.
• Bacteria particularly like to settle here and can multiply quickly if they are not used for a long time.
