An easy to use home Espresso machine created by Saeco and rebranded for Starbucks. This machine is excellent for every day espresso drinkers and has an excellent build and product life.

Cleaning after long period of not using the machine

I haven't used the machine for a year and the machine has been sitting in the kitchen. What steps should I take to clean the machine before using it again. I'm afraid there may be mold/bacteria inside the machine from the last time I pulled a shot.

Descaling the machine and rinsing it well should be all that's necessary, but heating the machine to steam temp should take care of any bacteria that may have gotten inside the water system (it's a closed system so it's unlikely any has). I regularly work on machines like this that have sat for one or more years, often in garages or basements, and mold is rarely an issue.
