In the world of specialty coffee, excellence isn’t just about beans, grinders, or baristas - it’s also about hygiene, maintenance, and precision. Properly maintained espresso machines and coffee equipment are critical for performance, consistency, and flavour. That’s why SCASA is proud to partner with Caffenu, who provide the all-important cleaning products that keep our competition machines and equipment in peak condition.
Why Cleaning Products Matter
Espresso machines and coffee tools undergo intense use during competitions, and cleanliness directly impacts:
- Taste and quality: Residual oils and coffee particles can alter the flavour of every shot.
- Consistency: Well-maintained machines deliver stable temperature, pressure, and extraction for every competitor.
- Reliability: Proper cleaning ensures equipment functions flawlessly throughout long competition days.
- Longevity: Regular maintenance protects machines from wear and reduces downtime.
Without high-quality cleaning products, even the best equipment and most skilled baristas cannot perform at their full potential.
