Questions about cafiza
Hey ya’ll just wanted to know how often other shops around the world are cafiza’ing their grouphead screens? Came back from vacation and found out we are no longer doing it weekly and now it will be monthly. The screens get pretty vile after a week and that’s with most of us backflushing quite regularly. this just doesn’t seem like good practice to me but maybe there’s merit to it that I’m not aware of? Im not sure if using cafiza on the screens every week damages them faster over time or something. But typically I don’t soak them for very long, just enough to get the week’s worth of debris loosened so it’s easier to scrub off. But again I’m open to change if it makes sense to me and is beneficial to the customers, the people I’m most concerned about. I know I personally wouldn’t want to drink espresso from somewhere that cleans their machine once a month. And I taste the espresso at least every hour to ensure quality throughout the shift. Kind of grosses me out if I know there’s a month’s worth of buildup in the groupheads lol, but I also have OCD so maybe I’m overreacting. would love to hear other opinions!
