Your espresso machine is an investment, one that will allow you to enjoy quality coffee and espresso drinks for years to come. However, to keep your machine performing at optimal levels, it is critical that you set a maintenance schedule and then keep to it. Consistency and precision are important parts of a successful coffee program, allowing you to produce the best quality coffee product possible to generate better sales and repeat customers.

The question is whether you should handle the maintenance of your machine on your own or if you should bring in an experienced company to handle this routine for your espresso machine. Before making that decision, ask yourself the following:

• Can I afford to have my espresso machine down for days at a time while I go through the maintenance process?
• Do I know how to recognize or address any potential problems in your espresso machine?
• Do I know who to order the right parts from to make any on the spot repairs, if necessary?
• Do I know what cleaners to use as part of a deep cleaning for my espresso machine?

Without the right tools and knowledge in place, you could end up potentially damaging a critical piece of your business by damaging your critical espresso machine. Our team also provides an espresso machine repair, allowing you to get your machine up and running in the shortest time possible. Still, you might be wondering what is involved in a deep maintenance cleaning for your espresso machine.

Part of your maintenance schedule needs to include regular deep cleaning of all the jets and internal tubes. You also want to have all aspects of the machine checked for any potential cracks or signs of wear and tear. An espresso machine uses less energy when left on all the time versus shutting them down at night, because they do not have to warm themselves back up.

With years of experience, our knowledgeable staff can assist you in determining the type of maintenance your machines need, as well as connections to a service team that can provide the necessary maintenance.

Additionally, you need to make sure that you are using quality water and that means putting in a water treatment and filtration system. The tubes, jets, and boiler can easily become clogged by the smallest particles (minerals) that can be found in your tap water. With the right water filtration system in place, you can keep your machine running smoothly for longer.

When you create a scheduled maintenance schedule, then you are limiting the downtime of your machine for potential repairs. Plus, you can catch any issues before they start, giving your machine a longer life. Identifying potential repairs means you can schedule them right away and thus improve the overall functionality of your espresso or coffee and tea brewers.

This process involves checking all major areas of your machine, as well as replacing jets, tubes, or the boiler according to the manufacturer’s recommended schedule based on your use. The benefits to your business involve creating a quality product every time, while limiting the chance that your machine will be down for long periods due to an unexpected repair. Plus, if you can identify potential problems early, you can reduce overhead by ordering parts in advance, instead of having them rushed at an additional shipping cost.

You can also save energy, because your machine will be running at its optimum performance. An espresso machine can run up your energy bill if it is running efficiently. When the gaskets and seals on your espresso machine begin to leak, then the machine will start to run on overdrive, which means it is demanding more energy and more water to maintain its operating temperatures. This added load can further stress the seals, electrical, and mechanical parts, thus making the problem even worse.

Deep cleanings are also can prevent the buildup of scale. A quarter inch of scale of build up in your copper pipes and brass fittings can cause a heat loss of about 50%, which can negatively impact the performance of your machine and the quality of the coffee and espresso. Think of how much the taste and consistency of your espressos and coffee mean for your customers. The quality of water and the mineral scale can end up negatively impacting your products, thus potentially driving customers away. Using a regular deep cleaning and maintenance schedule for your coffee and espresso machine is an investment in your products and your repeat customers.
