Cafetto cleaning for espresso machines

For cleaner coffee equipment at home and in professional operations.

About Cafetto

Cafetto develops cleaning and hygiene products for espresso machines, brewing equipment and beverage dispensers. According to the company’s own overview, its mission has remained the same from the start: to deliver high-quality cleaning solutions for coffee equipment, designed to be easy to use, reliable in operation and consistent in results. As a customer, you’ll notice this in a range where each product has a clear application instead of trying to solve everything in the same way.

Here you’ll find options for complete maintenance: products for the grinder, milk components, brewing equipment, cleaning tablets for traditional machines and fully automatic coffee machines, as well as descaler for limescale in water paths and the boiler. The main difference between the products is where the problem is located in the equipment: coffee oils in the brew group, milk residue in steam wands and milk systems, limescale from hot water, or residue in the grinder. For home use, smaller formats or pre-dosed solutions are often sufficient, while cafés, offices and other high-use environments generally benefit from larger packages and products adapted to a daily routine.

Find the right option for your equipment

This is the core of the range: choose based on which part of the coffee station you want to keep clean, not just the machine’s name.

For standalone grinders

For standalone grinders

Removes oils and old coffee dust

Suitable if you want to freshen up burrs and the grinder housing without taking the equipment apart. This variant is intended for standalone grinders, not models with a Built-in grinder in the espresso machine.

For milk systems

For milk systems

When the problem is milk residue

The right choice for steam wands, milk lines and automatic frothers, where fat and protein quickly create deposits. A better option than descaling when the taste or flow is affected by milk handling.

For limescale from hot water

For limescale from hot water

Low odor and larger volume

Choose this when water lines, tanks, or other hot-water equipment need to be freed from limescale deposits. Especially practical for recurring maintenance where a small bottle runs out quickly.

For brewers and serving equipment

For brewers and serving equipment

Against coffee oils and discoloration

Designed for carafes, serving vessels, airpots, and brewing equipment where deposits build up on surfaces. A cleaning powder for the brewing environment, not for dissolving limescale inside the machine.

Designed for specific cleaning programs

Some machines require the right dosage and format for the cleaning cycle to run smoothly. Here, choose according to machine type and routine.

TEVO Maxi

For traditional machines with higher usage

Capsule cleaning

Convenient for home use

If you want to cover several tasks without building a routine from scratch, a kit with pre-dosed sachets is often the easiest choice. It is particularly well suited to traditional home machines where you want to incorporate backflushing, Milk Frother Cleaner, and descaling into the same maintenance schedule.

Built for regular operation

In cafés, showrooms, offices, and other environments where equipment is used frequently, larger bottles and clearly designated specialty products are more practical. They make it easier to maintain set routines for descaling, milk components, and daily cleaning without running out of supplies midweek.

Frequently asked questions

The most important thing is to choose the right product for the right type of deposit and the right part of the equipment.

What is the difference between descaler and cleaning tablets?

A descaler is used to remove limescale that builds up where hot water passes, for example in tanks, boilers and other water paths. Cleaning tablets are instead used to dissolve coffee oils and coffee residue in brewing-related parts and cleaning programmes. If the machine feels sluggish on the water side, it is often limescale; if the taste becomes bitter or the brew group gets dirty, it is more often coffee oils.

How do I know whether to choose something for home or professional use?

Start with the level of use and how often you clean. For home use, smaller packages, capsules or pre-dosed kits are often the most practical because they are easy to portion and store. For cafés, offices and other frequent-use environments, larger bottles and tubs are usually better, especially for milk systems, backflushing and regular descaling where consumption is higher.

How do I know whether to choose something for home or professional use?
Can the same product be used for a grinder, milk system and coffee maker?

No, it is best to choose a specialised product for each area. Grinder cleaner is designed to remove oils and particles from the burrs, milk products are adapted for fat and protein residues, and products for brewing equipment work against coffee oils and discolouration on jugs and serving parts. This division is one of the strengths of Cafetto's range, as you avoid having to compromise between different needs.
