How do I clean my presso?

To clean presso simply remove the portafilter by turning to the right, knock out the coffee ‘cake’ into a bin and rinse off any remaining coffee grounds that may be left on the body. Occasionally wash with soapy water but do not put presso through a dishwasher. The salts will destroy the high quality finish. The milk frother however is dishwasher safe.

Occasionally you may want to clean presso more thoroughly. You can do this in 2 ways -
With the portafilter removed and presso upside down, press the centre of the round rubber diaphram (with the small holes). You will see that this diaphram deforms allowing you to remove it from the edge. Clean the diaphram with warm soapy water and before replacing it also clean the inside of presso from the underside. Replace the diaphram before usage.

Undo the double top bolt which attaches the plunger to the metal arms. With the bolts off the arms will fold back allowing you to remove the plunger. Clean thoroughly with warm soapy water and and re assemble.
