Subject: Questions About Backflush Detergent
|
Hey, everyone. I am coming out of lurkdom to ask about backflushing detergent. My sister, who doesn't much like coffee but knows that I do, gave me a birthday present of some freshly-roasted Black Cat Intelligentsia coffee beans (excellent!) and a package of "Joe Glo" backflush detergent, also ordered from Intelligentsia. I have a Gaggia Evolution espresso maker that does not backflush. I was wondering if I can use this detergent to just run through my Evolution and my Melitta Clarity drip coffee maker. Would it hurt the workings? Is there something special about backflush detergent that makes it deadly to use in a way other than backflushing? You guys know everything.

And certainly, like the apostle Peter, I am capable of denying it, of presenting myself as a sort of leftist liberation-theology enthusiast and maybe sort of a vaguely Jesusy bon vivant. But it's not true" --Anne Lamott
