I've had an EM6910 for 8 years and it has served me well. But in the last year it has gone down hill fast (backflush is clogged, pressure gauge is clogged, generally does not pour a good shot reliably any more) so before I replace it, I have some questions on cleaning to make sure I was doing everything right.
It only pours 1 shot a day, maybe 2 on the weekends.
- Weekly clean of all removable parts in the kitchen sink with hot soapy water. then rinse.
- 2 monthly group head clean with sunbeam tablets. as per the book.
- 3 monthly descale with sunbeam liquid. as per the book.
Is there anything else I could have done to prevent the clogging and degradation of the machine? The only thing I can think of is a hot water rinse after each shot (do a double shot with no grinds in the basket).
