Clean equipment isn’t just about aesthetics or catering to coffee purists. It has far-reaching implications for health, taste, and business operations.

Studies have shown that neglected coffee equipment can harbour harmful bacteria and moulds, especially in components exposed to milk or moisture. 

Milk frothers, for instance, can become breeding grounds for pathogens if not properly cleaned. Coffee shops that overlook cleaning risk failing health inspections or, worse, endangering customer health. Use a professional milk cleaner such as Cafetto MFC Organic Milk cleaning powder.
