CINOART PC – Automatic Portafilter Cleaner
Insert the portafilter, and after around five seconds the double-shot basket is free of coffee grounds. The CINOART PC is an automatic portafilter cleaner with a silicone brush head.
You install it in the knock tube or directly in the worktop. It cleans double-shot baskets from 53 to 58.5 mm.
Features of the CINOART PC
Fits different basket sizes
The PC cleans all common double-shot baskets, whether 58.5, 58.3, 58, 57, 56, 54.3, 54 or 53 mm. The edges of the silicone brush head can be trimmed so that it reaches the bottom of your basket.
Installation in the knock tube
The three wings of the PC are adjustable in outer diameter. You loosen three screws and adapt the wings to the rim of your knock tube.
Installation in the worktop
Drill a 120 mm hole, insert the PC and fix it to the worktop with three screws.
In everyday use
A clean basket is one variable less. How the espresso tastes is still decided by the bean, the grind size and the weight. We grind fine, start at 14.5 g and work our way up, usually to 17 g, at a ratio below 1:2. Our opinion is one of many: some prefer to wipe the basket by hand, others value the automatic process.

Tip from the roastery: For your next shot we recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, full-bodied with chocolate and nut. If you want maximum body without acidity, go for Very Nutty. For the curious: Wild Peach, fruity and lively. That is our recommendation, one of many.
