A 40 x 40cm black microfibre cloth that lifts coffee grease without chemicals and leaves stainless steel free of smears.
Microfibre is made of very fine fibres that grab dirt and grease rather than pushing them around, so you can clean without reaching for extra chemicals. This one is 40 x 40cm, and it doesn’t leave smears on stainless steel, which makes it a good match for espresso machines.
It suits anyone with an espresso machine or a brew station at home. Keep one cloth for the steam wand and another for the counter and portafilter, so milk and coffee oils stay separate. Black hides coffee marks far better than a pale cloth, so it still looks tidy next to the machine.
Tip: wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth straight after every use, before milk has a chance to bake on, then purge the wand for a second or two to clear the tip.
