I was wondering if I could get a few opinions about the cleaning regimen of a two group Astoria in a low to mid volume shop. My employer maintains that the group heads must be entirely disassembled and soaked in Cafiza every night. We make maybe 75 espresso drinks a day. I suggested that regular backflushing and scrubbing would suffice (especially more than ONCE a day) and this got me in big trouble. I worry for the screws and brass dispersion plate. Any input?
