Office coffee machines – cleaning your milk line

Cafetto Milk Frother Sanitizing Cleaner

Cafetto Milk Frother Sanitizing Cleaner

You know how it is, everyone love the Office Coffee Machine and the way it automatically froths your fresh milk, but no-one loves cleaning the milk line – and it’s starting to get really really yucky!

On fresh milk automatic coffee machines the most most critical area of concern when it comes to maintaining good hygiene and prevent buildup of bacteria is the milk frothing system – the milk line and milk frother or steamer.

This is particularly important if the coffee machine is located in a warmer area or if the milk line is not refrigerated.In this case, we recommend that fresh water is flushed through the milk line and frother every time the machine is going to be idle.

To keep things really healthy, and your coffee tasting great, we would further suggest the use of a milk line and frother sanitiser and cleaner such as the Cafetto Milk Frother Sanitizer Cleaner

To use simply follow the manufacturers machine instructions or if none are available carry out the following:

  • Run a rinse cycle through your milk line with fresh water (or manually flush your milk line and frother with fresh water)
  • Make up a solution of 20ml Cafetto Milk Frother Sanitising Cleaner in 300ml of warm water
  • Insert milk frother suction tube into solution and run for 2 cleaning / flush cycles (or until solution is depleted)
  • Remove tube from solution and place in a container of fresh water and run for 2 flush cycles ( or until water is depleted)• If required, reconnect tube to milk prime line with milk if required.

Your coffee will always taste great AND you will be preventing excessive bacteria buildup in your milk frothing system.

Il Cafe Latte, New York, United States

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:25:42 PST

Location: New York, United States With a name like this you would expect them to make a good latte. I ordered two to go. One regular, one decaf, they were both terrible. Undrinkable. We poured both down the sink. Waste of time and money. Soapy was what sprang to mind on first sip. On second sip it was burnt and soapy. On the up side, their cold apple pie was good. It's a shame the coffee was...


Aslan Coffee, Sydney, Australia

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:06:54 PST

Location: Sydney, Australia Only recently discovered this local cafe, great little find. Leans toward take-away in style, but there's seating for 10 or 12 inside, and there's a couple of tables on the footpath too. Coffee is good, food excellent, especially considering the prices. Just had a very substantial Tuna Avocado wrap for $7, it was delicious and really filling...I'm stuffed. Will be here...


Hermitage Rd., Hitchin, United Kingdom

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:55:29 PST

Location: Hitchin, United Kingdom New cafe in town. Has a restaurant upstairs, but I haven't tried that yet. That also uses their own Has Bean coffee blend. Coffee has been consistently great and the recent addition of a filter option has added another element to the place. Being new, it's certainly evolving and Marc is trying new things regularly. And it's 2 minutes walk from home. ...


Off to a Flying Start

It’s no secret to any of you loyal readers that I have a bit of a thing for Bali. Over the last five years we have developed a wonderful partnership with the coffee farmers of Kintamani. By paying them a great price for their coffee and helping them fund some special projects it’s fair to say we’ve made a solid contribution to the relationship. However I’ve always wondered how we can make a...

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:43:24 PST

Location: London, United Kingdom Quietly tucked away in a super quaint strip of shops, just north of the Oxford St and Marble Arch corner, I always enjoy my perfectly made Flat White. The charming interior feels like sitting in your own flat, so it's always good for a catch up with friends or a bit of chilled ME time. Great pastries too!! Best cafe in this part of London!!
