The Secret to a Clean Espresso Machine – VeryBarista Backflush Blind Disk

As every home barista knows, keeping your espresso machine in best condition is crucial for maintaining the quality of your brews. One of the key steps in machine maintenance is backflushing, a process that helps keep the machine’s group head and valves clean. For espresso machine owners, the VeryBarista Backflush Blind Disk is the perfect tool for this job.
What Is a Backflush Blind Disk?
A backflush blind disk, also known as a backflush basket or cleaning disk, is an essential accessory used to clean the internal components of your espresso machine. It works by blocking the water during a backflush cycle, forcing it through the machine’s pressure valves to remove built-up coffee oils, residue, and debris. Without regular backflushing, your machine can develop clogs, resulting in inconsistent shot quality and potentially costly repairs.

Why Choose the VeryBarista Backflush Blind Disk?
Our new and improved VeryBarista Backflush Blind Disk features a redesigned silicone build, making it a standout from traditional metal or plastic disks. Here’s what sets it apart:
Perfect Fit
Custom-sized for 54mm and 58group heads, the disk fits snugly in your portafilter, ensuring efficient backflushing.
Food-Grade Silicone Construction
Unlike conventional rubber disks, the VeryBarista disk is made from flexible, food-grade silicone. This new design not only ensures durability and long-lasting performance but also provides a snugger fit in the portafilter for more effective cleaning.
Enhanced Flexibility
The silicone material allows for a tighter seal, improving water flow during the cleaning process. This results in deeper cleaning and ensures that no residue is left behind.
Easy to Clean and Use
Simply place the blind disk in your portafilter, add our highly recommended Cafetto Tevo Mini tablet and run a backflush cycle. The process is simple and requires minimal effort, yet delivers deep cleaning results.
The disk’s improved design means it’s easier to handle and clean after each use. Just rinse it off, and it’s ready for the next round.
Improved Machine Performance
Regular backflushing helps maintain optimal machine performance, ensuring consistent espresso shots with rich crema and full flavor.
Affordable Maintenance
For just a small investment, you can prolong the life of your espresso machine and avoid expensive repairs down the line.
