Maintaining an espresso machine can not only extend the life of the machine but also provide more consistent and flavorful espresso. One of the most common ways of cleaning the screen and group head is to backflush the machine with a small amount of cleaner. In order to perform this cleaning you will need a blind filter or backflush insert for the portafilter. Espresso Supply offers the Metal Backflush Insert (02070-STD) which fits all 58 millimeter portafilters for cleaning. Backflush cleaning is recommended for commercial espresso machines with a three-way valve.

Rattleware 7-Inch Espresso Machine Brush,with Drip Guard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this brush on a Gaggia New Baby 2006 espresso machine which has a commercial 58-mm group head. The brush fit tightly (a good thing) into the channel where the group head gasket sits. This allowed me to scrub out the coffee grinds which were slowly building up on the gasket. If you have a smaller group head (i.e. have a pressurized portafilter) on your espresso machine this brush probably will not fit. The drip guard on the brush does work, but because it's almost half-way down the handle it's rather common for the water to drip off to the side of the machine rather than conveniently into the drip tray (still better than having the hot water scalding your hand). Lastly I have to note that the brush was very stiff when it arrived but softened up after repeated uses. I prefer the brush on the softer side as it makes it easier through to fit into the group head channel. In all, other than the drip guard and the initial stiffness I feel very satisfied with my purchase. The build is solid and the price is reasonable.
