Artpresso Design LLC| Espresso Machine Steam Wand Cleaning Tool
The first cleaning tool created specifically to improve steam wand cleanliness and workflow. This Espresso Machine Cleaning Tool is easy to grip and fits comfortably in your hand as it surrounds the steam wand. With a squeeze and a few wipes, the steam wand is cleaned.
Artpresso Design has launched a new line of cleaning tools designed specifically for use on espresso machines. Created by Steven Monti, a product designer and co-founder of the company.
"Espresso machines can create delicious coffee, but they aren’t always the easiest to keep clean. The steam wand, drain tray and group head need to be properly maintained while preparing every cup of coffee," said Monti. Our goal was to simplify this process by creating specific tools for each task that are both effective and easy to use. We believe we have achieved this with these new tools."
“We designed our new line of espresso machine cleaning tools precisely to address the problems baristas have when cleaning. We found that most baristas, café owners, and home users dislike their current options for cleaning because it involves handling wet dirty towels around heated espresso machines. During our research phase, we discussed the cleaning challenges that espresso machine users faced in order to define a problem set for solving.
We set out to design products that would lessen burns, be easier to use, and more cost-effective. We then made sure they were also attractive and improved workflow.
Final prototypes were tested repeatedly by experienced specialty coffee professionals throughout the final development phase, who gave input into each tool's effectiveness, ease of use, and long-term durability.”
"The result is a system of cleaning products that enable baristas to safely and easily maintain an espresso machine. These products clean faster with less effort, minimize cross-contamination and reduce towel usage - but also improves workflow and the appearance of an espresso bar setup."
Artpresso’s new line of Espresso Machine Cleaning products include the Steam Wand Cleaning Tool.
This is the first product to make cleaning and working with the steam wand faster, easier, and more efficient. It is easy to grip, and with a squeeze and a few swipes, the steam wand is clean and ready to use again. It features a thick interchangeable microfiber pad and a flexible heat-resistant exterior. The best part of this cleaning tool is that it saves you time and effort. You can quickly clean your steam wand and get right back to steaming milk - and keep your hands dry and safe from the heat of the wet towel and stainless-steel wand.
