What is A Pallo Caffeine Wrench

If would like to clear the clutter and simplify your workspace the Pallo Caffeine Wrench barista multi-function tool is a must-have. Enjoy the many useful features all in one elegantly designed tool. You will no longer need to store separate wrenches, screwdrivers, thermometer calibrator, or a bottle opener since the Pallo Caffeine Wrench shares all of those features in one tool.

The Pallo Caffeine Wrench has three different-sized wrenches. It is available in 8mm, 12mm, and 13mm sizes. The center opening is used to calibrate a thermometer. Don’t let its small size fool you; while it’s compact and saves space, it’s also quite useful.

What is the Purpose of it

Essentially, the caffeine wrench is an all-purpose tool for your coffee bar or shop. It’s not only useful but also well-made. It’s made of stainless steel and has a slight bend at the neck. Some group assemblies are held in with a 7mm or 8mm hex bolt. The bend allows for easy access to this area. 

You can use it to remove the filter screen, pry off the portafilter basket filter from the portafilter, or use it to scrape dried milk off the steam wand. It’s vital you have this tool handy and easily accessible when you have an espresso machine or are running a speciality coffee shop.

Benefits of Using A Pallo Caffeine Wrench

The caffeine wrench is designed to help you perform routine tasks and adjustments with the least amount of effort. You will need just one gadget such as this one to perform a number of tasks. Below are a few benefits and ways in which you can use the caffeine wrench while on the job:

Tips & Tricks

You may have some questions about the caffeine wrench before using it that we are happy to answer. For example, you may want to know what the gasket probe is used for. Groups come in all different shapes, sizes, and configurations depending on your machine. The gasket probe can be used to remove soft gaskets for maintenance and replacement from many different groups. The probe is great to use if there is a screw or bolt in place holding together the group assembly.

Another question you may have is why is there a wand scraper on the wrench? Proper wand maintenance is necessary as a coffee employee or shop owner. Although you should try not to let your wand get so dirty it needs scraping, stuff happens. If this is the case, then after soaking in a solution like JoeGlo (or even hot water for that matter), a gentle scraping with a bevelled, contoured tool works great to remove milk buildup on the wand. You’ll discover that it’s a gentler and more efficient solution than a scraper or knife blade.

How to Use

The Pallo Caffeine Wrench includes an 8mm, 11mm, 12mm, and 13mm wrench fitting. The product dimensions are 4.8 x 0.2 x 1.8 inches. All you have to do is hold the wrench by the rubber handle and use it to remove your steam wand tip, for example. Remove the group screen, pry off the portafilter basket, and tackle many other tasks with this versatile tool!
