Puly Milk Plus Liquido – one ampoule, and your steam wand smells of nothing again
Milk forgives nothing. What dries on the outside of the wand, you can see. What stays inside the channel, you can't – and that's exactly what makes the next morning's cappuccino flat and the milk foam grey.
Dissolve one ampoule in cold water, dip the wand in, open and close it several times until the water is hot. The solution is drawn through the channel and dissolves the milk proteins where no brush can reach.
How to use it
Dissolve one ampoule in cold water and hold the container under the steam wand. Open and close the steam valve several times until the water is hot. For stubborn dirt, leave the wand to soak for a while, then rinse with clean water.

Who it's for
The pack of four is the right size for home – clean once a month and it lasts a third of a year. The pack of thirty is the café size: one ampoule a day, a month of peace.
What goes with it
For the outside of the wand, use a dedicated cloth – for example the Rhino barista cloth set. The green line of the same cleaner is Puly Milk Verde Liquid 1L. More under Puly Caff and machine and grinder cleaning.
Tip from our café
We run the ampoule cleaning at closing time, never in the middle of service – afterwards the wand needs a few purges until there's really no aftertaste left. That's our experience from Bern and Zurich, not lab data. To taste-test the milk drinks afterwards, we like to use Cozy Chocolate, for a classic base Nutty Delight and for maximum body Very Nutty. All our roasts are under coffee beans.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I clean the steam wand this way?
Daily in a café; at home, weekly to monthly depending on how much milk you use. The outside of the wand is wiped and briefly purged after every drink – but that doesn't replace cleaning the inside.
Is one ampoule enough for one cleaning?
Yes. Each ampoule contains 25 ml and is designed for one cycle.
Cold or hot water?
Cold. The ampoule is dissolved in cold water; the heat then comes from the steam from the wand itself.
What's the difference from the Verde line?
Both dissolve milk proteins. Plus comes in pre-portioned ampoules, Verde as a one-litre bottle that you dose yourself.
Is the cleaner food-safe?
According to the manufacturer, the Plus line is made from food-safe ingredients and is NSF-certified. Even so, rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning.
