Weber Workshops Metal Spring Clean – stainless steel backflush tool (58mm)
The stainless steel version of the Spring Clean is the original: lock it in, start a shot, and the spring pushes the collected water back under pressure through the brew group and 3-way valve. A tedious routine with a blind basket becomes a single, simple step.
Coffee Coaching Club is an importer of Weber Workshops.
How the Spring Clean works
The brew water fills the 200 ml reservoir; when you stop the shot, the spring pushes the entire volume back through the brew group and the 3-way valve into the drip tray – around twenty times the amount of water of a conventional backflush pulse, in one go.
What sets the metal version apart
It is made entirely from cast, precision-milled stainless steel and designed for a long service life. The Viton O-rings can be replaced when needed – kept well lubricated, they last a very long time, and a replacement set is included. The more affordable transparent version, which lets you watch the process, is available separately as Spring Clean Transparent.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference from the transparent version?
They work the same way. The metal version is sturdier and more durable (cast stainless steel, Viton O-rings with replacement set). The transparent polymer version lets you watch the process and costs less.
Does the Metal Spring Clean fit my machine?
On 58 mm machines with a 3-way valve: all E61, all La Marzocco except the KB-90, Decent-compatible. Not for Bezzera BZ brew groups.
How often should I backflush?
Daily with clean water, plus with cleaner roughly every 50 shots.
Roastery tip
Keep the Viton O-rings lightly lubricated, and the piston glides smoothly and the seals last a very long time. A quick cycle after the last shot of the day keeps the brew group free of old oils. That's our recommendation, one of many.
