Cafetto EVO Espresso Machine Cleaner 1KG
Cafetto EVO® Espresso Machine Cleaner — 1kg
The market-leading backflush detergent. Cafetto EVO® was the first espresso machine cleaner to be certified by an organic certification body — a safe, high-performance cleaner trusted by professionals and used at the Barista World Championships.
EVO® removes the coffee oils, grounds and stains that build up in your group head, shower screen and three-way valve — the invisible culprits behind stale, bitter espresso. Its rapidly soluble, free-rinsing formula clears residue without leaving odour or taste behind, restoring flow, improving aroma and protecting your machine. Supplied in a 1kg tub with a measuring scoop for accurate dosing.
Why Baristas Choose EVO®
Strips the rancid coffee oils, grounds and stains that plain water can't touch, improving the taste and aroma of every shot.
Dissolves fast and rinses completely clean, leaving no odour or residue to taint the next coffee.
Non-corrosive formulation that's safe for the machine's internals, helping maintain flow and temperature stability.
Rapidly biodegradable, odourless, non-GMO and free from phosphates and chlorine.
How To Backflush With EVO®
Follow Cafetto's recommended method for traditional and semi-automatic machines with a three-way valve.
Swap the coffee filter for a blind filter and add one level scoop of EVO®.
Run 10 seconds, stop 10 seconds, and repeat several times to dissolve and clean.
Remove and rinse the group handle, then backflush with the blind filter and plain water until clear.
Refit a regular filter, then brew and discard one espresso before serving.
Always follow the dosing and cycle instructions on the tub for your specific machine. For daily cleaning use one level scoop; if cleaning less often, use two.
Clean Formula
EVO® is formulated to clean hard while staying gentle on your machine and the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
EVO® is a backflush cleaner, so it's for espresso machines with a three-way solenoid valve — this includes E61 group heads, popular semi-automatics like the Rancilio Silvia and Gaggia Classic, and most commercial machines. Machines without a three-way valve can't be backflushed.
A common routine is a detergent backflush once every week or two for regular home use, and daily for busy commercial machines. Backflush with plain water more frequently between detergent cleans. Always check your machine manufacturer's guidance.
No. EVO® is rapidly soluble and free-rinsing, so it clears completely without leaving odour or residue. After cleaning and rinsing, brew and discard one espresso to re-season the machine before serving.
Yes. It uses a non-corrosive formulation that's safe for your machine, and the ingredients are rapidly biodegradable, odourless, non-GMO and free from phosphates and chlorine. It was the first espresso machine cleaner certified by an organic certification body.
