Maintenance
Rocket Appartamento
A regular schedule is recommended to prevent coffee oil and scale buildup:
-
- Daily: Flush water through the group head after each use to clear grounds. Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth immediately after steaming milk and purge it by running steam for a few seconds to prevent clogs.
- Weekly: Backflush the group head using a blind basket and approximately 1/4 teaspoon of espresso machine detergent (like Cafiza). This removes oils from the screen and solenoid valve.
- Monthly: Remove and clean the shower screen and gasket. Soak them along with the portafilter basket in a cleaning solution for a thorough deep clean.
-
Water Quality: Use soft, clean drinking water with a hardness between 4–7 °f (French) or 2–4 °d (German). Rocket does not recommend frequent consumer descaling; it should ideally be performed sparingly (every couple of years) by an authorized service center to avoid internal damage.
Rocket Faustino
Keeping the grinder clean prevents old coffee oils from affecting fresh grinds:
-
- Weekly: Empty the bean hopper and wipe it with a clean, dry cloth to remove oily residues. Use a brush to clear old coffee grounds trapped in the dispensing chute and around the burrs.
- Periodic Deep Cleaning: If grind quality fluctuates, the internal grind chamber and chute should be cleaned more thoroughly, sometimes requiring a vacuum to remove all debris.
- Burr Replacement: For optimal performance, check and consider replacing the 50mm flat burrs approximately every 350 kg of ground coffee. Note that the Faustino's design typically saves your grind setting even after cleaning or replacing burrs
