For accessible edges around the brewing group where ground coffee gets stuck after brewing.

You keep more distance from the hot brewing group. Let the machine cool down first when instructed by the manual.

You can use the integrated scoop for approved cleaning powder; always follow the dosage on the packaging.

Do you recognize this after an espresso?

Even if your filter holder is clean, coffee residue can still remain around the brewing group.

  • Coffee grounds at the edge

    After removing your filter holder, you see dry coffee grounds along the accessible edge of the brew group.

  • Difficult to get to the spot

    The space around the brewing group is narrow. With a cloth, it is difficult to reach the visible edge without touching other parts.

  • Cleaning is postponed

    After brewing, you quickly clean the drip tray, but the coffee residue around the brew group stays there until the next cleaning.

Brush the accessible edge thoroughly clean

After brewing, I start with the visible coffee residue around the brew group. You can brush it away with the narrow head, provided your machine's manual allows this.

The long handle helps you keep your distance, but does not make hot parts safe to touch. Let the machine cool down where necessary. This brush is not a substitute for a maintenance program.

Does this brush fit your machine?

For an espresso machine with an accessible brew group where the manual permits brushing. For a sealed brew group or different maintenance instructions, follow the machine's instructions.

What exactly do you get?

You will receive one black group brush with a narrow brush head, a long handle, and an integrated measuring scoop. The supplier offers the same version as a 'Group brush with measuring scoop'.

The scoop is a guide, not a fixed dosing recommendation. Use cleaning powder only if your machine allows it and according to the prescribed amount.

Removing crumbs is not the same as degreasing

With this brush, you can remove visible coffee residue from accessible parts. Coffee oil in the brew group sometimes requires a separate cleaning cycle with a suitable cleaner. That is a different task.

To remove coffee oil, you can look at the Cafetto EVO brew group cleaner, exclusively if your machine allows for that type of maintenance. For dry coffee grounds on the countertop, I prefer to use a wooden coffee brush.

First, remove the visible coffee grounds; clean the interior according to your machine manual.

Frequently asked questions about the group brush

What do I use this perineal brush for?

For visible, loose coffee residue on the accessible edge of the brew group, provided your espresso machine's manual permits brushing. The narrow head reaches places where a cloth is less easily used.

Can I use the brush on any espresso machine?

No, not without checking. The construction and maintenance rules vary by machine. Check whether the valve seat ring is accessible and whether brushing is permitted. If in doubt, do not insert the brush.

What is the little shovel on the brush for?

We're here to help you get the most out of your water sports adventures. Below, you'll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

Does this brush replace a group head cleaner or descaler?

No. The brush removes visible coffee residue. For coffee oils, a separate program with, for example, Cafetto EVO brew group cleaner may be required. Descaling is another maintenance task; for that, follow your machine manual.

Where exactly can I buy this brush?

View the grouping brush at DeBaristaShop or the version with a measuring spoon at Barista Essentials. Check the product photo and price (€4.95 at the time of this check) before ordering. The supplier processes orders through its own store.

Group head brush for coffee grounds along your espresso machine

Are there coffee grounds left around the brew group after making espresso? This black brew group brush with a long handle and scoop helps you to brush the accessible edges clean. First, check whether your machine manual allows brushing and do not touch hot parts. The built-in scoop is intended for approved cleaning powder, but does not determine the correct dosage.

For leftover coffee oil, you may use a separate brew group cleaner according to the maintenance instructions. For ground coffee next to the grinder, a wooden coffee brush is better suited.

Coffee grounds on your portafilter rim? Target them specifically

With the narrow group brush, you can keep the accessible edge clean. Check out the version with a measuring spoon and first read the maintenance instructions of your espresso machine.
