Daily backflushing with water (no cleaning detergent) flushes coffee oils and residues from the brew group. Approximately every 50 shots, use cleaning detergent – this takes about 5 minutes in total and is the most important maintenance measure there is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal part from Schwanden\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel, without perforation. 54 mm, the standard size for the Maximatic portafilter.

In the medium term, seals will stick, pressure build-up will become uneven, and in the worst case, the solenoid valve will block. Defects can occur – with regular backflushing, you push them far back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I replace the blind filter with a normal filter basket for flushing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Only the blind filter, due to its lack of perforation, creates the pressure build-up that enables backflushing. A normal filter basket simply allows water to flow through – without any cleaning effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere can I buy or see the blind filter live?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnline via coffeecoachingclub.ch with delivery in 2–4 business days throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein.
