Spring Clean™
Patented Espresso Machine Cleaning DeviceOverview
A revolution in espresso machine cleaning, meet the patented-mechanism Spring Clean™. It allows a full 200mL of water to build up in a spring-loaded reservoir and releases that full amount back through the brewing pipe over the 3-way solenoid and into your drip tray. That means less time spent cleaning, and 20x the volume of water used to clean per cycle. A spring clean a day keeps the technician away.
Our brand new see-thru version allows you to watch the process in all its grime-removing glory, for a fraction of the price of the original.
Fits standard 58mm machines that utilize a pump and backflush system for cleaning and maintenance. This includes E61 style group heads, most LaMarzocco (all except KB-90) and Decent compatible.
NOTE: Does not fit machines with Bezzera BZ brew groups.

Materials
See-Thru Polymer
This version is made from a tough food-grade and BPA/Phthalate/PFOA/PFOS-free polymer that allows you to see into the chamber to see directly how clean your machine is becoming. The silicone plunger tip is replaceable as needed. The springs are both made of stainless steel. The safety release pressure valve was developed in-house and is made entirely of stainless steel.
Stainless
The original Spring Clean is made entirely of cast and precision-machined stainless steel for a lifetime of use. The Viton™ O-rings are replaceable as needed (if properly lubricated they will last virtually forever), and a spare set comes included in the package.

The Spring Clean™ in action.
Why try to clean with a thimble of water when you can access a full bucket? Your machine and your coffee will thank you.
Safety Valve
For the see-thru version, we developed in-house our own safety valve made entirely of stainless steel. It is set to deploy at 1 bar of pressure to keep the 9-12 bars of pressure off of the retaining tabs.

Backflush Detergents
Backflush Detergents
The Spring Clean™ is designed to handle your standard backflushing detergents. Joe Glo? Cafiza? Urnex? Baking Soda? Bring it on. Do one cycle with it to unbind the oils, rinse, then another cycle with just water. You can see when it's clean, so the guesswork is gone.
No mess visualization
No mess visualization
As you run your machine to "charge" the Spring Clean™ with its 200mL of backflush water, you reach the limit of the water chamber. We designed in an overflow channel so that the excess water sprays down directly into your driptray. This keeps the dirty water where you want it, and prevents stressing the pump and lines at full pressure.
Hot-swapping coffees
Hot-swapping coffees
If you're a home barista or a cafe that serves single origin espressos, you have probably experienced "cross-talk" when dynamically switching coffees on the fly. A hint of Pacamara on your gesha? No more. No need to run a full 'tween clean anymore. Just do a quick water purge with your Spring Clean and move on to the next bean to eliminate remnant oils.
