Cleaning the brew group
Regular cleaning of the brew group prevents coffee residues from clogging up the internal
circuits. Visit https://www.usa.philips.com/c-m-ho/coffee/your-philips-espresso-machine
for support videos on how to remove, insert and clean the brew group.
Cleaning the brew group under the tap
1 Remove the brew group (see 'Removing and inserting the brew group').
2 Rinse the brew group thoroughly with water. Carefully clean the upper filter (Fig. 37) of the
brew group.
Check the pre-ground coffee
compartment weekly to see
if it is clogged.
Empty the coffee grounds
container when prompted by
the machine. Clean it weekly.
Empty the drip tray daily or
as soon as the red 'drip tray
full' indicator pops up

Remove the coffee grounds container
while the machine is switched on. Rinse
it under the tap with some washing-up
liquid or clean it in the dishwasher. The

First clean LatteGo while it is attached to
the machine by using the 'Quick milk
clean' program (see 'Quick cleaning
LatteGo'). Then remove it from the
machine and rinse it under the tap or
clean it in the dishwasher.
Consult the lubrication table and
lubricate the brew group with the Philips
