Daily milk system cleaning

Rinse the Milk System After Every Use
Fresh milk residue is much easier to remove than dried deposits.
Engineer's Tip: Run the automatic milk rinse programme immediately after making your last milk drink.
Empty Leftover Milk
Milk should never be left sitting in the milk container between uses.
Engineer's Tip: Empty unused milk after each session and return fresh milk to the refrigerator.
Rinse Milk Tubes and Containers
Even if your machine performs an automatic rinse, removable milk components still benefit from a quick wash.
Engineer's Tip: Rinse milk tubes, containers and carafes with warm water at the end of each day.
Wipe the Frothing Nozzle
Small amounts of milk can remain around the frothing nozzle after use.
Engineer's Tip: Wipe the nozzle with a clean, damp cloth once it has cooled to prevent dried milk from building up.
Check for Early Signs of Build-Up
Reduced foam, spluttering milk or slight odours are often the first signs that extra cleaning is needed.
Engineer's Tip: A quick inspection each day can help prevent a complete milk system blockage.
Make Daily Cleaning Part of Your Routine
A few minutes of care each day is much easier than clearing a blocked milk system later.
Engineer's Tip: Consistent daily maintenance helps produce better milk drinks and extends the life of your milk system components.

Do I need to clean the milk system every day?
Yes, if you prepare milk drinks regularly. Daily rinsing removes fresh milk before it dries and helps prevent blockages, unpleasant odours and poor milk frothing.
Is the automatic milk rinse enough?
The automatic rinse is an important part of daily care, but it doesn't replace regular deep cleaning. Dried milk proteins and fats can still build up over time, so periodic cleaning with a milk system cleaner is recommended.
What happens if I don't clean the milk system every day?
Milk residue can dry inside milk tubes, frothing nozzles and connectors, leading to poor foam, restricted milk flow, unpleasant smells and eventually a blocked milk system. A simple daily cleaning routine is one of the best ways to keep your coffee machine performing reliably.
