Maintenance
How to look after your Pierino
A single boiler machine, such as the Profitec GO or the Quick Mill Silvano and Pippa, heats coffee and steam in the same boiler. It needs daily cleaning, backflushing if it has a three-way valve and descaling as described in the manual. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.
Good to know about the Tower Pierino
The brewing temperature is adjusted between 80 and 100 °C. Because the Pierino has a single boiler, you need to wait a moment after steaming before the next shot.
Torre specifies a water hardness of 7–14 °dH and recommends a water filter or water softener if needed, as limescale can seriously damage the machine.

Water and filters
The right water protects your machine
The target is 2–4 °dH. With soft water and a filter in the tank, the longer interval is enough. Do not use distilled water.
Water tank
The Pierino runs from a water tank. Use an in-tank filter and replace it every 2–3 months.
