The steam wand wants wiping straight after frothing, while the milk residue is still warm and soft. The portafilter wants to be dry before the next grounds go in. And the housing shows every fingerprint a morning leaves behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMicrofibre, 400 x 400 mm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cloth is made of high-quality, hard-wearing microfibre and produced in Germany. It works slightly damp or dry and needs no chemical additives – the fibre absorbs grease and water without leaving lint or streaks. At 400 x 400 mm it's big enough for you to do the wand with one corner, the portafilter with another and the housing with the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the single cloth. Alongside it we carry the ECM barista cloth set of 2: two cloths in light grey and dark blue, with sewn-in magnets for hanging on the machine's chassis. Put both options side by side and you'll quickly see which suits your own routine better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCaring for the machine also means backflushing: daily without detergent, about every fifty shots with detergent, which takes around five minutes. Together, the two keep a machine in shape for years. Our opinion is one of many, but this one has proven itself in two showrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-quality microfibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 x 400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHow to use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlightly damp or dry, without chemical additives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel housing, steam wand, portafilter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIn the box\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne cloth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMade in\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGermany\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAC100029-00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone with a stainless steel espresso machine, and that's most people.
