KAFFEE KLAR T1: The revolution in portafilter cleaning for baristas
Monday 23 february 2026 9:24:00 Europe/brusselsKaffee Klar T1 – The Revolution in Portafilter Cleaning for Baristas
In the world of espresso, everything revolves around precision: the right grind, the right dose, and above all a perfectly clean portafilter. Old coffee residues not only disrupt the flavor but also make your workflow unnecessarily messy and inefficient. The Kaffee Klar T1 – 58 mm Portafilter Cleaner changes all of that and sets a new standard for both professional baristas and home enthusiasts striving for top-quality results.
What is the Kaffee Klar T1?
The Koffee Klar T1 is an automatic portafilter cleaner, designed for all 58 mm single and double portafilters. Thanks to a powerful high‑speed motor and a precisely shaped brush head, the portafilter becomes fully clean in about 3 seconds. No loud knockbox strikes, no half‑effective rinsing — but thorough, consistent, and quiet cleaning.
This makes the T1 ideal for anyone seeking an efficient and hygienic workflow: from busy espresso bars and specialty cafés to ambitious home baristas.
Key Features
1. Automatic activation via photoelectric sensor
The integrated photoelectric sensor automatically activates the device when it detects the portafilter. This means no buttons, no risk of incorrect operation, and an ultra‑smooth workflow.
2. Ultra‑fast cleaning in 3 seconds
Whether you're working in a high‑volume café or rushing through your morning routine at home, time is valuable. The T1 completes a full cleaning cycle in just about 3 seconds, allowing you to continue working immediately.
3. More hygienic and better flavor
The brush head is precisely shaped to the bottom contour of a 58 mm portafilter, ensuring that coffee residues are reliably removed. Less residue means cleaner flavors and more stable extractions, shot after shot.
4. Quiet and ergonomic
Where knocking out coffee in a knockbox often creates noise and splashes, the T1 works quietly and in a controlled manner. This is more pleasant for the barista and gives a much more professional impression toward customers.
5. Durable construction
The device features a full metal housing, built for professional use. The brush is designed for up to 8,000 cleaning cycles and can be replaced easily.
Why the T1 Is a Game‑Changer for Your Workflow
Time and energy savings
With the T1, there’s no more knocking, brushing, or rinsing. In busy environments, this can save several hours per week — time you can redirect toward better service or higher output.
Consistency in every cup
Manual cleaning can vary from shot to shot. The T1, on the other hand, delivers reproducible cleaning, directly resulting in better espresso quality.
Better hygiene and less maintenance
By efficiently removing coffee residue, you prevent buildup of oils and bitterness. Your machine and portafilters stay in optimal condition for longer.
