Urnex BioCaf 500g — Coffee Equipment Cleaner

Coffee oils and fine residues build up fast inside group heads, screens, baskets and brew equipment — and left unchecked they cause bitter shots, clogged filters and off-flavours. Urnex BioCaf is a purpose-made cleaning powder that absorbs and lifts coffee oils and stains from metal and glass surfaces so extraction stays true to the roast. The formula is made from biodegradable, naturally derived ingredients and is phosphate-free, so it cleans effectively without harsh chemistry or lingering smells.

BioCaf is versatile: use it for routine backflushing of espresso groups, as a soak for portafilters and baskets, and as a cleaning solution for batch-brewers, servers and glass carafes. For group maintenance it loosens oils that hide behind screens and inside valves; for glass and stainless it removes stubborn coffee stains that normal rinsing can’t. That flexibility makes BioCaf useful both behind a busy bar and in a home or office environment where a reliable, food-safe clean is essential.

The powder is easy to use and easy to standardise across shifts. For backflushing, use measured doses in a blind basket and run short pressure cycles to force the solution through the grouphead — the detergent foams under pressure and dislodges trapped deposits. For soak cleaning and drip/batch equipment, mix into warm water to create a soaking or reservoir solution that lifts stains and oils before a thorough rinse. Because BioCaf rinses clean and is odourless when flushed, it won’t leave residual tastes when used correctly.

Sustainability and safety are central to BioCaf’s design: ingredients are renewable and derived from natural sources, and packaging options often use recycled materials. That means cafés and home users can maintain equipment hygiene and cup quality while choosing a cleaner with a lower environmental footprint. For consistent results, follow recommended dosing and always flush the brew path with clean water until no cleaning solution remains.

BioCaf gives you a gentle-but-effective, environmentally minded option for routine coffee-equipment maintenance.
