Throughout my twenties, I spent my time working in various restaurants, serving everything from martinis to frothy cappuccinos. During my time in the hospitality industry, I discovered some unexpected products and hacks that have proven to be useful long after my shifts. One such product is Cafiza, a cleaning powder commonly used by restaurant staff to clean and maintain espresso machines. It wasn’t until I spoke with Adam Keita, owner of the Brooklyn-based coffee shop Daughter, that I learned about Cafiza’s versatility and its potential to rival the renowned Pink Stuff cleaning paste.
According to Keita, Cafiza is a “secret cure” for even the toughest stains, such as burnt pans, scalded pots, and rust. This odorless, organic powder is specifically designed to remove coffee residue and oils from both the internal and external components of espresso machines. This results in better-tasting, more evenly extracted coffee, without any scrubbing necessary on your part. While I can personally vouch for Cafiza’s effectiveness in this area, you don’t need an espresso machine to enjoy its benefits. Like Keita, many users swear by Cafiza for removing stubborn coffee and tea stains from travel tumblers, ceramic mugs, and coffee makers. It can even restore scorched and oil-stained pan bottoms to their original condition. To use Cafiza, simply mix a teaspoon (or less) of powder with boiling hot water and soak the stained item for 30 minutes. Then rinse it clean. Some reviewers have even recommended Cafiza for cleaning residue from smoking accessories.
Cafiza has received rave reviews on Amazon, with users sharing their success stories. Diane Jennings mentions how Cafiza effortlessly removed coffee stains from her Ember mug and Yeti mugs, making them look brand new again. Dosmit Raeh shares how Cafiza effectively removes resin from glass pieces used for smoking, leaving them sparkling clean. Heather Kearns praises Cafiza for its ability to remove hard cooking stains, coffee stains, and burnt-on oil stains without damaging surfaces. Carly, who used to work at Starbucks, highly recommends Cafiza for cleaning coffee-related equipment, such as urns, convection oven trays, and espresso machines. Finally, J shares their experience of using Cafiza to clean their coffee tumbler, which had been stained for years. After trying various methods to no avail, J found that Cafiza worked like magic to restore their tumbler to its original condition.
With such positive reviews and numerous uses, it’s easy to see why Cafiza is a must-have cleaning product. Priced at just $15, it offers great value for money and delivers exceptional results with minimal effort. Whether you’re a coffee lover, a restaurant owner, or simply someone looking for effective cleaning solutions, Cafiza is definitely worth considering.
