Here are the steps to clean your portafilter:
1. Place the portafilter into a container and drop in one cleaning tablet
2. Use your machine to fill up the container with some hot water
3. Let this mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to give the tablet time to break down
4. Then, take the portafilter out and use a cloth to wipe off any leftover residue
5. Reassemble your portafilter and you’re all set!
