Overview

The Spring Clean™ 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.

Fits 58mm machines that can use E61 compatible portafilters, and utilize a pump and backflush system for cleaning and maintenance. This includes most La Marzocco (all except KB-90) and Decent compatible.

Please Note: Does not fit Gaggia Classic Pro, Breville and machines with Bezzera BZ brew groups. If your machine doesn't work with "E61 compatible portafilters", the Spring Clean will not work with your machine. Please confirm before purchasing.

Availability & Delivery

The Spring Clean Polymer is currently available and shipping within 1-2 days from our US, Taipei, and Japan locations.

Materials

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.

  • Works on all La Marzocco machines except KB-90
  • Works on all E61 group heads
  • Works on Decent Espresso Machines
  • Does not fit machines with Bezzera BZ brew groups, Gaggia Classic Pro or Breville machines

Why try to clean with a thimble of water when you can access a full bucket? Your machine and your coffee will thank you.

The Spring Clean™ in action.

Thoughtful Details

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

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.

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.

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.
