Know before you buy
The fins are positioned on the brush head to create a barrier between your hand and the group head. They effectively redirect hot water and detergent runoff away from your fingers while you scrub.
No, this brush is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the handle and bristles, we recommend rinsing it by hand with warm water after each use.
The brush is designed with a modular head that allows you to swap out the bristle inserts. This keeps the handle in use longer and reduces waste compared to throwing away the entire tool.
Yes, the handle features a dedicated pick specifically designed to clear out steam wand vent holes, helping to prevent clogs and ensure consistent steam pressure.
The dosing spoon is integrated into the handle to help you measure the exact amount of espresso machine detergent needed for backflushing. It ensures you use the correct ratio of cleaner for your machine's specific requirements.
