Eversys Espresso Machine Cleaning Instructions
Perhaps your espresso machine and coffee equipment cleaning have fallen to the wayside in the past. But did you know that a well-maintained machine keeps downtime from disappointing customers and actually produces better-tasting results? That’s because following a strict cleaning schedule keeps bacteria from souring the beans and parts not only looking new but working like new.
To get a cup of joe that’ll make you want to exceed the FDA’s daily caffeine intake recommendations, follow our Eversys espresso machine cleaning instructions for Enigma, Legacy, E’line and Cameo models.

- Step 2. Press the Yes button – The cleaning menu will prompt you to select Yes or No. Select Yes to continue.
- Step 3. Remove the milk tank – The milk tank should be cleaned at least once per day with soap and warm water. You can store the milk in the fridge while cleaning. Just be sure to rinse thoroughly before returning.
- Step 4. Add Everclean™ to the cleaning tank – Press the Everclean cleaning solution pump once to dispense 25 ml or twice to dispense 50 ml into the cleaning tank. Then, insert the milk in the in-take tube before pressing Continue.
- Step 5. Wait 12 minutes – It takes approximately 12 minutes for the automatic system cleaning procedure of the milk system to finish.
- Note: Do not touch the outlets during cleaning, as they are very hot.
- Step 6. Remove & clean the cleaning tank – Once the 12 minutes are up, you can remove the cleaning tank. Be sure to thoroughly rinse and clean the tank before storing it again.
- Step 7. Clean the milk tank tube – With a damp cloth, wipe down the milk intake tubes.
- Step 8. Reinstall the milk tank – Return the milk tank to its original position and reinsert the milk intake tubes. Once finished, press the Continue button on the display screen.
Cleaning the Grounds Drawer
- Step 9. Empty and clean the grounds drawer – Lift the drip tray bar up to reveal the grounds drawer. Go ahead and remove it and empty it in the sink. Since the grounds drawer must be cleaned every day, use warm water and soap to thoroughly wash, rinse and dry before returning it to its original position. Press Yes on the touch screen to continue.
Cleaning the Touch Screen
- Step 10. Turn off the unit – Turn off and unplug the espresso machine. For the safety of you and the machine, the espresso machine should remain off while cleaning the touch screen and drip tray and while refilling the cleaning balls dispenser.
- Step 11. Clean the touch screen – Use a damp cloth to wipe down the body of the machine and the touch screen. Dry with a clean cloth.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
- Step 12. Remove the drip tray bar – Ensure the unit is turned off and unplugged before beginning this step. Lift the drip tray up to remove it.
- Step 13. Clean the drip tray – Wash the drip tray and its grid with a clean cloth and warm, soapy water. Be sure to thoroughly rinse and dry before replacing the grid.
Refilling the Cleaning Balls Dispenser
- Step 14. Remove the lid and check for blockages – The cleaning dispenser is located between the two bean hoppers. Open the lid and check to see if any of the cleaning balls have gotten caught in the dispensing mechanism. If so, remove these now.
- Step 15. Refill the dispenser – If the dispenser is running out of cleaning tablets, now’s a good time to refill them. Afterward, replace the lid, and you should be good to go!
- Note: The cleaning balls will run out after two months if they're not refilled.
