Espresso Machine Descaling, Cleaning & Tuning (In-Home)

Scale and old coffee oils build up inside every espresso machine over time. They slow water flow, throw off temperature and make shots taste flat or bitter. This service deep-cleans and descales your machine and grinder, then tunes everything so it brews like new.

What's included

• Descaling the boiler and water path with a descaler suited to your machine, then flushing it clean
• Backflushing the group head with espresso machine cleaner (on machines that support it)
• Removing and cleaning the shower screen, and cleaning the group head and gasket area
• Cleaning the portafilter, baskets and steam wand
• Cleaning the grinder's burrs and grind path of old coffee buildup
• Full tuning: grinder adjustment plus dose, shot time and yield, with test shots
