ESPRESSO MACHINE DAILY CHECKLIST

Use after every espresso session.

[ ] Flush the group head for 1 to 2 seconds
[ ] Knock out the puck
[ ] Rinse the basket and portafilter
[ ] Wipe the steam wand immediately after steaming milk
[ ] Purge the steam wand to clear milk from the tip
[ ] Empty standing water from the drip tray if needed
[ ] Wipe coffee splatter from tray grate and machine face

Quick reminder:
A 3-minute cleanup prevents stale coffee oils, dried milk residue, and a surprising amount of bad-tasting espresso.
