What is A Pallo Caffeine Wrench

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.

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!
