Can I use Grindz™ on a fully automatic espresso machine?
While Grindz™ will effectively clean the burrs on most any coffee grinder, we do not recommend use of the product on fully automatic espresso machines without specific instructions from your machine’s manufacturer. The reason we urge caution is that the brew chamber of each fully automatic espresso machine is different. Although Grindz™ is fully edible and food safe, the composition of the product gives it a tendency to expand when put in contact with large volumes of water. Therefore, when using Grindz™ on fully automatic machines, it is important to not accidentally “brew” a shot of Grindz™, as this could clog your machine. In order to avoid this, ask your manufacturer how to set your machine for grinder cleaning. If you have already tried and succeeded using Grindz™ on your machine, then you’ve figured it out!
