Everything you want to know
Every barista knows, or should know very well, that after each frothing of milk it is necessary to remove the residues from the steam wand with a cloth or sponge.
Unfortunately, a normal microfiber cloth or a classic sponge, even if used correctly, have the disadvantage of:
- bad smell, difficulty in rinsing during work
- do not prevent sunburn
- leave your hands wet
- easily become contaminated with coffee powder
Spokj is an innovative sponge, designed by an Italian start-up, a real tool designed and dedicated to cleaning the steam wand:
- partially covered by a thermally insulating coating against heat and liquids,
- easily and firmly grasped and washable both by hand and in the dishwasher. After a squeeze it immediately returns to its original shape.
- if placed on a flat surface such as the grill of the espresso machine, there is no contact between the support surface and the sponge thanks to the protruding fins. This avoids or at least decreases the possibility of contamination.
- Its shape is designed with a through hole where it is inserted
