Maintaining your Ascaso espresso machine is crucial for consistent, high-quality espresso. Daily, clean the steam wand with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue, use stainless steel cleaners for the exterior, and regularly empty and clean the drip tray. Purge the group head before and after each shot to avoid clogs. Weekly, perform a deep clean by backflushing with a blind filter and an appropriate cleaner to clear out coffee oils and residues, keeping the solenoid valve clean. Descale every few months, depending on usage and water hardness, to prevent lime-scale buildup that can affect water flow and heating efficiency. Using a water filter can also help reduce the need for frequent descaling. These maintenance routines will ensure your Ascaso machine stays in top shape, delivering excellent espresso for years to come.
