Milk is a major problem for the coffee machines

“Particulary if the milk ends up in the boiler. So it’s very important, especially with the fresh milk, to be hygenic. It’s essential to have a regular daily cleaning with a properly formulated milk cleaner.”

Why should Europe and Italy buy a detergent from Australia?

“I think for two reason: now it’s a very international world now. So the manifacturing products can arrive from all over the globe. The other aspect is that Australia has a particular hard water. So we formulate a product for difficult conditions and it’s the same in a large part of Europe. Plus, we have a very sure and hard team. It’s always there when you need them.”

Why do you work in this sector, that is specialized in the cleaning of coffee machines?

“I used to live in Melbourne, the aim of coffee. I have lived there for many years and then I moved back to my hometown. And I wanted to have the same espresso experience that I had in Melbourne. So I bought a professional machines and I descovered that needed a special cleaner. And I started to search the best type of cleaner. So, basically I work in this sector because I love coffee.

The coffee market is a very creative one. There are a lot of machines manifacturies and a lot of coffee companies. But not so many people can make a very good cleaners. So I think that’s my special contribution for the sector.”
