If i am using an E61 grouphead professional machine. Will i still need to pull down the shower screen to clean if i'm using Cafiza regularly?

I have a Rancilio Miss Silvia and do not clean the shower screen separately as often as I did before using Cafiza. I make espresso once a week, use Cafiza three times a year and clean the screen once a year. The screen is fairly clean but I do it as a preventive measure.

I've had my footbath about a year. The only thing I can say about the liners is that elimination of them will necessitate a thorough scrubbing of the tub itself for hygienic reasons. Otherwise, I don't think eliminating the liner will cause any malfunction of the ray.

I got rid of mine a long time ago, I found it hard to push and it left my floor really wet. I bought the Shark, it has 2 interchangeable steam heads, and it works great, it doesn't leave my floors soaking wet, and it throws out a lot of steam. It does say to use distilled water with it, but I don't, after about a year and a half it did plug up with calcium deposits, but I just took the steam head apart which was easy and soaked it in Vinegar, then cleaned out the small tube with a paper clip, now it works great again.

If you go to the manufacturer's website, they give a description of which does what best. I hope that helps. http://advanagedp.com/Merchant5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store;_Code=A&Category;_Code=wonder_cleaners

Yes, yes it does. That being said, you'll still have to clean/wash the shower; but, in my experience, this does help prolong the "cleanliness" of hard water spots on the glass.

If by this you mean the head assembly, just use the pressurized filter with no coffee. At anything lower than full pressure, it will rinse out the shower head. Another approach is to use the pressurized filter (again with no coffee) and switch from steam to coffee and start the coffee cycle. Backflusing with a completely impassible filter seems like a great way to abuse the pump.

I find that the Emjoi works far more effectively BEFORE showering! Great product....especially the one that plugs in. It has more power than the battery-operated one.

No, I use that as well to clean. Product works great as long as you keep the shower floor clean. I mean like once a week is fine. Have had product on for well over a year and it is still fine.

I noticed that the stream/water pressure is released into the bottom tray after use. This seems normal and a good thing since I would rather have that happen than what I have seen from other machines. Just keep an eye on the level sensor and dump the water from the tray accordingly or better yet empty the tray after each day's use. I love my machine and had it for ~6 months. It is the best espresso machine out there for the money.

You can probably get a slim filter behind it, but will probably inhibit air flow. Screen pulls down easily and can be rinsed. I have it for the intended use in a shower. The volume of air this unit moves is great. I wouldn't want to see it get blocked up with hair as that might damage the unit. It can't hurt to give it a try just keep the unit and exhaust cleaned regularly.

It MIGHT be stuck. Hold the rod with pliers and unscrew the plate on the end. It should come apart with hand pressure, but that is a big variable. I clean mine by 1) pulling out the screen assembly 2) dumping/rinsing out the grounds (swirl with 1/2 pot of water & toss on garden) 3) add 1 drop of detergent, insert the screen assembly & plunge vigorously 'till it foams out the spout 4) dump it out, dissassemble the screen carrier, rinse everything & set inverted on a towel to dry. Detrgent breaks up the oils, plunging blows off 99% of the coffee chunks off the screen.

Most likely the reason it's not mentioned is the fact that it is very simple to clean and not a issue at all. The machine let's u know when any part needs attention and it is absolutely no problem at all. Warm soap/water with soaking is all there is to it. Very user friendly!

It's reccomended that you use the sweep function first and empty the dust chamber before steaming. I believe that function only works going forward with the foot button switched on. The steam it seems only works when moving backward. You can use both sweep and steam by holding the steam lever but I feel it's more likely to cause clogging by getting the picked up debris wet. I hope this answers your question.

watery puck is not a problem, generally with this type of machine puck analysis is pretty meaningless. As with bitter coffee, before putting in the portafilter, turn on the machine so water starts to drip from the filter. Most of the time you will notice the shower head will start steaming up. wait a little bit (few seconds) for the steam to go away. If there is still steam you can turn it off and back on again after few seconds, little steam might be ok. Then use a towel and wipe the water off then lock in the portafilter. Then turn it on again and hopefully you will see a nice creamy drip. Took me a while to figure this out, I was getting very inconsistent output to start with. i think what is happening is that steam coming out from the shower is compacting the puck too much. Also don't tamper too hard just a little force should do.

I dont know if this will help, but there is a movable joint between the selector and the shower head. I currently have it installed in a very small free standing shower and often have to move it to point at the wall so I can shampoo my hair without it rinsing me off constantly. i also am short and my older son is taller, he has to aim it up more to wash his hair. It SHOULD work, but I am not a plumber.overall I HAVE been very happy with it in the year I have used it, the only issues were that i had some hard water build up in the handheld part blocking some of the spray openings, but those were remedied with an overnight soak in some white vinegar.

I use it in the shower and just wet my face first. But, unfortunately, mine did not last long. I thought maybe it was because it got wet in the shower, but other people have said they keep theirs in the shower. Mine quit working just after the warranty was up. Isn't that always the case??? Now I just use the brush to scrub without the machine.
