It's cleaning-the-espresso-machine day. They say to do it once a week. Ha! I do it when it becomes impossible to turn the portafilter into place.
@dillyd You're supposed to clean them?
-
@dillyd same. I can't even with people who have the energy to clean it more often
@hinton
Can you imagine having that much energy and free time? -
Yup. As is tradition, clean only when the seasoning buildup impairs the making of the sacred brew.
@wifwolf
Haha yes! And this is a good reminder to give the first cup as an offering. -
@dillyd mine has a blinky light, but I wait a few days to show it who’s boss. It’s a nice process though.
@MostlyBlindGamer
You're not the boss of me! -

By the way, if you're not already familiar with it, this espresso puck screen is amazing for prolonging the time between cleanings. It keeps the coffee grounds off the brewing head.

@dillyd Simple things are often the clever ones.

@markwoll
I have a gaggia and it does have one built in, but so much better with this extra one, that keeps the grounds out of the grooves where you put in the portafilter -

@dillyd hmmm tell me more? I don't have a screen in my espresso machine. Is it an extra?
