Cafetto Espresso Clean® Powder

The Backflush Cleaner Used by Professionals
Cafetto Espresso Clean® is the benchmark backflush cleaner for professional espresso machines, and the powder format is what most cafés and serious home baristas reach for when they want reliable, repeatable results in bulk. It removes coffee oils, grounds, and stains from group heads, portafilters, and baskets with a rapidly soluble, free-rinsing formula that leaves no residue, no odour, and no flavour taint in subsequent shots. If your espresso has been tasting flat, bitter, or off — and your grind and technique haven't changed — a backflush with Espresso Clean is often the reset the machine needs.

NSF Certified to Protocol P152
Cafetto Espresso Clean® has been independently tested and certified by NSF International to Protocol P152 — the food equipment safety standard specifically for products used in coffee and espresso brewing equipment. P152 certification confirms two things that matter: the cleaner will not leave residues that affect the taste or aroma of your coffee, and it will not corrode or damage the internal components of your machine. This is the same certification standard used to evaluate cleaners in commercial café environments, making Espresso Clean the appropriate choice for domestic machines running quality beans where flavour integrity matters.

Powder Format — When and Why to Choose It
The loose powder format is the most flexible of the three Cafetto Espresso Clean formats stocked at Coffee Addicts. Unlike the sachets (pre-measured 5g doses) or tablets (pre-formed single-dose units), the powder lets you measure the exact quantity needed for your machine and cleaning frequency — useful if your machine's backflush protocol calls for a non-standard dose, or if you're cleaning portafilters and baskets by soaking alongside the backflush cycle. For a straightforward daily or weekly backflush with no measuring, the Cafetto Espresso Clean Sachets or Tablets may be more convenient. For those who prefer control over dosage or buy in bulk for regular use, the powder is the practical choice. Pairs naturally with a blind filter basket for backflushing — available separately at Coffee Addicts.
