Maintenance

How to look after your Portable Via

An E61 dual boiler machine is backflushed daily with water and weekly with cleaning detergent, and the group gasket is replaced about once a year. The brew boiler holds the right temperature via PID, so there is no need for a cooling flush. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.

Good to know about the Rocket Portable Via

Always transport it upright

Rocket stresses that the machine must stay upright during transport after use, otherwise it may leak water.

Bottomless portafilter

The Porta Via comes with a bottomless portafilter. Make sure distribution and tamping are even and you will avoid spraying.

Do not descale

Rocket does not recommend descaling its machines. Use soft, filtered water in the tank.

    • Purge and wipe the steam wand after every use
    • Backflush with water and a blind basket
    • Rinse the portafilter and basket, empty the drip tray
  2. Every week

  3. Every month
    • Wash the water tank
    • Change the water in the brew boiler and steam boiler as described in the manual
    • Soak the shower screen and dispersion plate

Water and filters

The right water protects your machine

Heat exchanger and dual boiler machines with an E61 group should not normally be descaled with chemicals, and Rocket among others advises against descaling them yourself. Protect the boilers with the right water from the start: measure the hardness and use a filter in the tank, or BWT Bestmax if the machine is plumbed in.
The target is 2–4 °dH. Do not use distilled water; the machine needs minerals for the level sensor to work.
0 °dH2–4 °dH recommended15 °dH

Water tank

The Portable Via runs from a water tank. Use an in-tank filter and replace it every 2–3 months.
