Frequently Asked Questions

Blindfilters 54mm en 58mm voor halfautomaat espressomachine

Why do I need a blind filter for my espresso machine?

A blind filter is essential for thoroughly cleaning your machine's brewing unit. It prevents coffee oils and residue from building up, which not only affects the taste but also shortens the lifespan of your machine.

Which size blind filter fits my espresso machine?

Blind filters are available in 54 mm and 58 mm, depending on your machine. Check our handy size chart to be sure which size fits your portafilter.

How often should I backflush my espresso machine with a blind filter?

If you use your machine daily, we recommend backflushing it weekly with just water and monthly with cleaning solution. This will keep your machine performing optimally and your espresso taste perfect.

What is the difference between a stainless steel blind filter and a rubber disc?

A stainless steel blind filter offers a precise fit, is more durable, and lasts longer than a rubber disc. Moreover, a stainless steel filter fits better in standard portafilters on both home and commercial machines.

How do I use a blind filter when backflushing?

Place the blind filter in the portafilter, add cleaning solution if necessary, and start the backflush cycle. Let the pressure build up and release, repeat this a few times, and then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Does regular use of a blind filter really affect the taste of the coffee?

Yes! A clean brew group ensures even extraction and prevents bitter aftertastes. Regular backflushing therefore directly contributes to better flavor and a longer lifespan for your machine.
