Milk system cleaning

Why is it important to clean the milk system? The answer is really quite simple: to remove accumulated milk residue. Because milk is a somewhat thicker substance than water, there will always be residue left in the system. When the system is too full of milk residue, the frothed milk will taste different from what you are used to. This results in a less tasty to not at all tasty cappucchino or latte macchiato.

Steps for cleaning

Each machine has its own instructions for cleaning the milk system. This is because there are different types of milk systems. Therefore, always follow the instructions provided.

Regular cleansing

If your machine has a milk nozzle, it is important to clean the outside after each use. Flushing the nozzle monthly is recommended. Note: if you notice that frothing does not go smoothly, clean the nozzle immediately. Furthermore, it is important to follow the machine's instructions.

Do you have a milk system that sits inside the machine? Then monthly cleaning is also recommended, unless otherwise indicated in the instructions. Use good quality and brand maintenance for this. Look carefully at the cleaning agent for which machine it is suitable.
