We drink around 70 millions cups of coffee every day and the majority of coffee outlets have a coffee machine but how many understand the impact that its cleanliness can have on their business? Keeping equipment clean is vital because it will affect machine reliability and the quality of the coffee.A hot and humid working environment leads to the build of lime scale and tannin residues that can block tubes and filters.Many machines use high pressure, and obstructions place a strain on components that can lead to breakages. Bacteria can also be a problem.

Liquid products supplied with dosing control mechanisms are a good choice. Products should be colour coded and supplied with how-to-use guides.
