Pallo Coffee Tools











Having been a user of the Pallo Coffee Tool we had no hesitation in stocking the product on Coffee Hit.

The Pallo Coffee Tool comes a variety of colours. We went for the one that caught our eye the most. The deep red is Ferrari like in colour. A great match for your Italian Espresso Machine.

The tool is really three tools in one.

Its first and primary use is as a brush for the grouphead. The stiff black bristles come in a cartridge that can be unscrewed from the brush and replaced without having to buy a new tool.
The handle is perfectly angled so the face of the brush sits flat against the shower screen if your grouphead. It also has several fins on the handle so that hot water get deflected and doesn't scald your hand when cleaning.

The way to use the brush is by removing your portafilter from the grouphead. Perform a backflush, then hit the manual button on your grouphead keypad so that water runs continuously out of the grouphead. Now take your brush and vigorously brush around the grouphead, paying particular attention to the shower screen and gasket area. This will remove all the left over coffee and oils from the grouphead.

The second use of the Pallo Coffee Tool is to clear the holes from your steam wand tip. During service these can get clogged and effect your steaming capabilities. Take the little black cap off the needle and poke into the steam tip holes to clear.

At the end of the tool is the third use. The spoon. Use the spoon to measure our your backflushing powder. Use one heaped spoonful per backfklush.

Whether you make coffee at home or in a coffee house this great little tool will help keep your equipment clean and your coffee tasting great.
