Have you ever wondered how to get rid of the unsightly coffee or water stains on the stainless steel parts of your espresso machine? I have, and I’ve just found the perfect solution. I Googled and came to this informative site. This site recommends using olive oil, vinegar or club soda.

I decided to use a metal polish instead, as I had a tube of Autosol lying around. And lo and behold, after a night of applying some elbow grease, this was the result.

Brand spanking new! The Anita looked better than when I first got it from Chriscoffee. Out of the entire small tube of Autosol, I ‘ve used not more than 1 cm of cream for the entire machine. Not being food-safe, I was careful not to apply it on the portafilter. I soaked the portafilters and baskets in a bowl of hot water and Urnex Cafiza solution.

In fact, the Anita machine looked so new I was almost afraid to use it today. After my first brew, the stains wipe off easily, and the machine still looks great.

** I highly recommend using Autosol for your espresso machines. **
