Machine Maintenance & Cleaning

This group is a place where baristas can ask any questions they have about cleaning and/or maintaining and get feedback from a trusted Urnex expert.
  • Eric Faust

    Thanks for the hook up!
  • Mike McGinness

    Used Urnex products for years. No question, you can't brew great coffee with dirty equipment!
  • Joseph Plaugher

    Awesome! I love a clean machine!
  • Dana L. Baniewicz

    Awesome; thanks for this opportunity! Love this network!
  • Cafe Mundo

  • Dallas Fowler

    Thanks for the group! This will be helpful.
  • Luke Damiani

    I would like to compare this to Puly Caff.
  • Logan Potts

    Awesome!
  • Banana Dang

    Help I'm on an Island... there's no spare parts, there are no techs I need all the DIY I can get! Any La Marzocco Linea 2 group folks out there?
    THANK YOU FOR THIS GROUP!
  • Lee Ann Jeffer

    Thanks so much, being a new shop we welcome any and all instruction in the industry
  • Virgil Hovar

    This will be great. I too seem to be in a "dead zone" for espresso machine maintenance so I have had to learn the basic repairs on my own. Actually took on a full clean (take apart and re-assemble) of our machine and am getting ready to put it back into production. I have found some sources for parts but getting any help is pretty slim coming.
  • James Hathaway

    Full Circle: Clean and Green. If it works, I like it.
  • Lynsey

    Cool
  • Ariel Mahon

    I know someone who uses it in a high volume, well-respected SF cafe, who says that while it takes a little bit more of a scrub than Joe Glo or Purocaff, it doesn't hurt your hands and works quite well.
  • MilesT

    Woot! Free goodies! ...plus, I always have questions about my Nuova. I"m glad this group is here so I can mooch good info from all of you ;)
  • Daniel Ho

    This actually reminded me that I should do a full clean of the machines...
  • Richard Mackinnon

    Cool promo! Thx!
  • Bryan Batty

    Very excited to try this free goodie! At Crema we get a high volume of eco-concious customers, so to introduce this to my boss, perhaps it will be a point of pride that we are going even further in our steps to contribute to the eco efforts.
  • Angela Davila

    yay i'm one of the first 200
  • Andrew Petrie

    anyone with knowledge on how to break down an Faema E61 group head for cleaning...
  • mo'joe

    be excited
  • David Seng

    Looks like a great product. How do we get our hands on it?
  • BaristaOnDutY

    Loves Trying New Products Especially For Cleaning My Machines |_|B
  • Coffeehorse

    might even swap out cafetto evo for this stuff...but nice to see it's eco. white vinegar isn't the best way to look after a machine :)
  • Moto-Espresso Coffee Carts

    Thanks Matt
  • LanWolf

    Looks good to me, i like it beeing eco, nowaydays i'm more and more using biologic products. But wil it be stronger than the coffee residu ? :D let the battle begin :p
  • Richard Penney

    I get asked a lot of questions about machine maintenance and the Urnex folks may give me better answers than I have now. The promo is a great idea!
    Thanks
  • Nicole Slaven

    Well done, Matt. Can't wait to try Full Circle, and share tips here.
  • David Smith

    This is an excellent idea for a group. I too am very keen on trying the Full Circle product. Love the green aspect of it.
  • John Despres

    Excellent! Thank you.
  • Shadow

    I'm a big fan of Cafetto Evo as well, so if this new product is more environmentally friendly I'm there... Later!
  • Marci Elliott

    Great idea for a group! Cleaning/maintenance is probably where I've had the most questions and the least answers!!
  • cafeBLACK

    I look forward to trying out FullCircle!

    I already use Urnex, so I'm excited to try a more eco-friendly product. Would also be interested to know what makes the current cleaners not-Eco Friendly!
  • Lauren Habenicht

    Love Urnex, have used the brand for the past 5 years....new products await, what! what!
  • Jannicke M Johansen

    Haha, I'm member number 200! :)
  • Polecon-barista tool manufacture

    Good place
  • Richard Penney

    Since there has been little action here other than the goody requests, I would like to pass this on. The Coffee Fest: Minneapolis June 4-7th and Seattle Oct 29-31.has may offerings for classes including a 3 hour machine maintenance class every morning. I am going!

  • Joseph Robertson

    Richard,
    If Seattle Coffee fest offers this I will try and take it in too.
    I'm having a tough time just finding a service manual for my new Aurelia by Nuova Simonelli. I guess I will call the company but I know if they sell me one it will be for way more money than they should. =0
    Joe
  • Fraser Jamieson

    I'm pretty sure there's a PDF for the Aurelia.
  • Richard Penney

    Hello Joseph,
    Here is a page with a download PDF for the Aurelia

  • Joseph Robertson

    Fraser,
    I can't tell you how many pdf manuals I have downloaded over the years. That is what confused me when I did (what I thougt) was a comprehensive search for one and just was or is not there. Could very well be because it is somewhat new. Thanks for the direction and thought though.
  • Joseph Robertson

    I'll be down at the SCAA convention ( world coffee blowout) in a couple of weeks so I will stop at the Nuova S. booth and see if they can help me.
  • Banana Dang


    This button on my linea doesn't work. I need to hold the button down in order to extract a shot. Any tips on this? Is there a way to fix it or do I need a replacement?
  • Urnex/Puro Caff®

    Stop by booth 2329 this weekend at the SCAA Expo in Anaheim with any cleaning questions you might have. We'll also be debuting the new face of Urnex, so come check out our exciting, new look!

    Also, Full Circle samples will be shipping this week for those of you that submitted you address when this group was created! Thanks for your interest in the Full Circle Brand - we look forward to hearing your feedback!!
  • Dallas Fowler

    When do the first 100 members get their free stuff???
  • Urnex/Puro Caff®

    As mentioned on April 13, the Full Circle samples have been packaged and began shipping last week, so keep an eye out for your package over the next few days!!

    If you were one of the first 200 group members, but did not submit your address/contact information to sample@urnex.com, please do so in the next few days to ensure that you get your Full Circle sample! Please see the FREE Sample discussion started by Matt for more information on what to submit.
