How to Extend the Life of Your Espresso Machine

March 5, 20246 min read

Use the Right Water

Hard water is the fastest way to shorten the life of your espresso machine. Using filtered or softened water helps prevent scale build-up in boilers and internal lines.

Clean As Part of Your Routine

Backflushing, wiping group heads, and cleaning steam wands after every shift or brew session prevents coffee oils from burning and clogging small passages.

Schedule Preventive Maintenance

Annual or semi-annual service lets a technician replace seals, check pressure, and catch worn parts before they fail in the middle of a busy morning.

Treating your espresso machine as an investment, not an appliance, helps you avoid expensive downtime. If your machine is overdue for service, MAAS ELEKTRO can perform a full health check and preventive maintenance in our Randolph, NJ workshop.
