Lelit MaraX: How to DEEP CLEAN espresso machine | Daily, Weekly and Monthly Cleaning (PART 1)

Deep cleaning an espresso machine offers numerous benefits that enhance both the machine's performance and the quality of the coffee it produces:
1. Optimal Coffee Flavor: Removing built-up coffee oils and residues prevents stale and off-flavors, ensuring each cup of espresso tastes fresh and pure.
2. Extended Machine Lifespan: Regular deep cleaning reduces wear and tear on the machine's components, helping to avoid breakdowns and extend its operational life.
3. Consistent Performance: A clean machine maintains consistent water flow, temperature, and pressure, which are critical for extracting the perfect espresso shot.
4. Improved Hygiene: Deep cleaning eliminates bacteria, mold, and other contaminants that can accumulate in a coffee machine, promoting a healthier brewing environment.
5. Prevention of Malfunctions: Regular maintenance helps prevent clogs and other issues that can lead to malfunctions, ensuring the machine operates smoothly.
6. Efficiency: A well-maintained machine heats up and operates more efficiently, potentially reducing energy consumption and wear on components.
7. Aesthetics: Keeping the machine clean improves its appearance, making it more pleasant to use and display.
Overall, deep cleaning an espresso machine is essential for maintaining the quality of your espresso, ensuring the machine's reliability, and promoting a hygienic brewing environment.

Wonderful job. Good advice for keeping the machine in tip-top shape! Your latte art is beautiful too. That's something I'd enjoy a video on. I've seen a lot of videos showing how to prepare the milk, but they always skip through the process, or speed it up. I'd really like to be able to watch, and listen and see where the spout is during the whole process, with no cuts or edits. I feel like I'm not getting the milk consistency I'd like, and I'd be curious to observe that process in detail. Just an idea, if that seems of interest to you.

Milk steaming tutorials soon for home machine and prosumer machine. Because they have different steam pressure and technique.

@@HomeBaristaCornerI have a Lelit Bianca, and use the two hole tip (which is a bit slower than the 4 hole tip, and I hear that can be helpful when you’re learning the process).
