Lubricating the brew group

It is important to lubricate the brew group frequently, so that the mechanical parts in your espresso machine continue to move easily.
Lubricate the brew group every 2 months.
  1. Apply a thin layer of grease on the piston of the brew group
  2. Apply a thin layer of grease around the shaft located on the bottom of the brew group
  3. Apply a thin layer of grease to the rails on both sides.
