Re: seasoning shot after backflush
I guess, like all things requiring maintenance, there is going to be scope for a wide variability of application dependent on how the machine is used, how often, the design of the machine, other maintenance measures being used.... And lots more.
Best thing to do really, is adopt an over-maintenance strategy early on; check the efficacy by inspecting all components potentially impacted by contamination. If inspection reveals no problems, stretch the maintenance interval period out by some nominal amount and keep repeating, until you notice signs of coffee oil(s)/detritus retention that werent there before. Go back to the previous maintenance interval period and if inspections are clear, then this is the interval period for you and your machine. If a substantial change in the usage pattern occurs, then you may need to update the maintenance interval period accordingly.
For me, this works out to be weekly, hence my recommendation for a single group machine being used 1-2 sessions daily, and switched off between sessions.
