Number-oneCoffee Machine Brush Cleaner Nylon Espresso Machine Brush Grinder Brush Coffee Cleaning Tool with Spoon (Pack of 2)

After using our espresso machine for a few months, we realized that just rinsing the portafilter with soap and water wasn’t sufficient (oops). There would always be brown water that came out even after rinsing thoroughly. I did some research and found these brushes. They are so simple, cheap, and get the job done. The bristles are stiff enough to scrub out the crud but flexible enough to bend into the little crevices in the portafilter. I’m very happy with them and would buy them again.

Love these brushes! When I was a barista we used these constantly and I loved using them. After recently purchasing a Keurig I wanted something to clean in all the tiny crevices so I knew this brush would do the trick!

I love how inexpensive and functional these are. Now I only have to look for two things (the detergent, and this brush/scoop combo) when it's time to break down and clean the espresso machine at the end of a long, busy day. The length and bent shape of the handle helps to A) reach the bottom of the deep and narrow detergent bottle, and also to B) get to the little nooks and crannies of a group-head without having to get so close that you wind up accidentally burning yourself on the hot bits under there.

The upside and downside of this wonderful little tool is:Upside: It's shape allows it to get into the locking groove along with the rest of the head, the "bristles" are very stiff and heat resistant, unlike my nylon bottle brush which I only use after the head had cooled - that was what I call and ERL for Experienced Related Learning after the bristles on my bottle brush were permanently splayed out by the 200 degree heat. It does clean the head quite efficiently.There is a very minor downside, because the bristles are so stiff if you run the machine to force water out of the head as a part of the cleaning process and use the brush at the same time, there is a bit of hot errant spray. Not a big issue and probably not any reason not to use the brush or a "fix" for that issue, but stil there's a bit of mop up after.The little spoon must serve some purpose, but I haven't found one for it as yet.

These were great for cleaning our coffee maker. The scrubbers were durable and help me scrub in those hard to reach places!

The body of this brush is not stiff enough, it bends back when i try to clean the gasket. Cant get in there and give it a good scrub.Update - Company contacted me and offered a refund. 3 Stars for great customer service.

Good product, does exactly what I need it to do. The scoop on the bottom part is bigger than it needs to be though. I had to discuss with my employees to use half the scoop

I bought these brushes to clean the hard places of the machine and I have to say they work great and are easy to clean since the brushes are heavy duty plastic they do not stain running water will keep them clean for next usage.
