1. Empty the water tank: First, remove the water tank and pour out any remaining water and pull and push down the levers 2-3 times to remove excess water.

2. Remove the used coffee grounds: Remove the portafilter and discard the used coffee grounds. You can also remove the shower screen and rinse it under running water to remove any residual coffee oils.

3. Clean the parts: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the machine and remove any coffee grounds or spills. For the portafilter, shower screen, and filter basket, use a cleaning solution designed for espresso machines and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

4. Run a cleaning cycle: Fill the water tank with hot water and a cleaning solution, then attach the portafilter and run a cleaning cycle. This helps to remove any buildup or residue inside the machine and keeps it functioning at its best.

5. Rinse and dry: After the cleaning cycle, run several cycles of plain water through the machine to rinse out any remaining cleaning solution. Finally, wipe down all parts with a dry cloth and allow them to air dry completely.

By following these steps, you can keep your Leverpresso Pro clean and in great condition for making delicious espresso shots. Remember to clean the machine regularly to ensure the best possible performance and longevity.
