    Published on 21 September 2023

    Find out how to clean and maintain your Philips Espresso Machine and its parts in the article and videos below. 

    Cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and coffee taste. Remember to clean the milk circuit system to prevent milk from drying up.

    Cleaning the brew group

    The brew group needs weekly and monthly maintenance. Our instructional video below explains how to do this.
    • Weekly cleaning: Rinse the machine's brew group with lukewarm water  
    • Monthly cleaning: Use the Coffee oil remover tablets CA6704 to remove oil from the filter on the brew group

    Lubricating the brew group

    It is important to lubricate the brew group frequently for continued ease of movement of its mechanical parts in your espresso machine.
    Lubricate the brew group every 2 months.
    1. Apply a thin layer of grease to the piston of the brew group
    2. Apply a thin layer of grease around the shaft located at the bottom of the brew group
    3. Apply a thin layer of grease to the rails on both sides.
