ESPAZZOLA 56-58mm Group Head Cleaner (2+3-58)

A convenient way to clean the group head

This professional-grade group head cleaner is a game-changing maintenance tool that transforms the tedious task of scrubbing your machine into a fast, 20-second routine that keeps your espresso tasting its best without the risk of burnt fingers.

A tool I didn’t know I’d need. Makes it easier to remove the grounds from the group instead of wiping with a cloth. Win!

I bought a used espresso machine that had some grounds caked in the group, and this was the perfect tool for cleaning them out!

I had been using paper towel to reach up and clean the group head. This tool is worth it.

Does the job. Clean espresso machine!

This is incredibly convenient to keeping the underside of shower screen clean for better shower distribution between full group head cleanings.

This group head cleaner is faster and cleaner than my other ones. It cleans the whole surface, and the design makes sense. Cool that it has a cleaner for the steam wand as well. It was a bit non-intuitive to assemble but only took about 2 minutes with the help of the instructions.

It probably makes sense to only use these in high traffic settings, as it is not really that difficult/time-consuming to clean a group head at home. It probably was not necessary for my use case (a small, cheaper brush does the same job), but it still works well. Given the price, I hope it is durable.

Nice product, but unfortunately does not fit on my Breville Oracle Touch. Was really hoping this one would have worked out.

Simple to use and super effective. Great for cleaning the group head at the end of the day or in the instance of a stuck puck. I do have a concern about how long the silicone cleaning head will last but I guess time will tell.

Nice addition to the daily routine. keep the shower screen and group head clean.

works great

Excellent and easy to use group head cleaner - a few seconds every day 👍

Just about the best group head cleaner you can purchase. Highly recommended.

What a clever little tool this is. Works a charm for regular cleaning in our Rancilio Lucy.

This looks and feels like a potentially great tool. However it's not actually a 56-58mm group head cleaner. It's a 69mm+ group head cleaner that is compatible with 56-58mm tamp diameters. Regardless of your tamper size, if your group (that is to say the outer dimension of your portafilter) is not a minimum of 69mm this will not work for you. It seems a great idea and the tool itself is well made but be aware that the sizing advice here is incomplete. There is a list of incompatible machines on the Espazzola website https://www.espazzola.ch/en/shop/esp-2-58/ but suffice to say that if you have an Ascaso, Lelit, Decent or Francis Francis machine, among others, it's likely this won't work for you.

The Espazzola group head cleaner cleans the surface of the groupheads on our Elektra machines more quickly and completely than the brushes we previously used and in less time with less mess. Although a bit fidgety to lock into the grouphead, once on, cleaning simply involves twisting the handle back and forth gently while the water is running. What we are waiting to see (and hope to provide an update on in due course) is the longevity of the silicone cleaning head.

I love this little cleaning tool. The odd time I get a puck that sticks and this makes clean up a breeze.

I've had a cleaning brush for the group as well, and this just makes it painless. It's a little pricey, but I haven't found anything that does as good a job at cleaning the group. I use it every few days with some water running through the group and it keeps it spotless.

Works fantastic, makes cleaning your E61 brew group a breeze.
Adapts perfectly well and very efficient for your cleaning routine.

New to espresso and wanted something quick and easy to clean a rancilio silvia group head. This device is a breeze and gets the job done.

The Espazzola is perfect for quick cleaning of the group head either light use of the machine or heavy. I use it at the end of each day to help my machine to stay clean. I also use it during the time when I extract a lot of shots consecutively during a short period of time. It definitely helps cleaning over 90% of the coffee grounds that stuck inside the group head and on the shower screen. It also works with the tablet cleaner for more serious cleaning.

The bees knees! Perfect tool for a quick daily cleaning of the grouphead, no fuss, no muss.

Works great for cleaning the shower screen without drips. All the water drains through the center hole and into the drip tray which is cleaner than using a brush. Just beware that it does take up a fair bit of space as it’s bigger than your portafilter.

I always want to keep my equipment running in tip top shape and make an effort to keep the shower screen and grouphead as clean as possible. This tool makes it so easy in one step with little fuss and way less mess for those times you want to quickly clean those parts in between your deep clean maintenance periods.
