How do you clean the tube that the milk goes through? Doesn't it get nasty?

Yes it does get nasty, I have an older Krups with that exact same steam wand on it and it is GARBAGE. It's 3 pieces the main rubber hose with a stainless steel wrap and a smaller stainless steel tube. I was rinsing mine out daily after I made my latte's and they started to taste funky. Milk gets in behind that stainless steel wrap and you can't clean it out without pulling it apart. I also had milk congeal in the small tube as it doesn't get rinsed out very well without pulling it out.

Another option...I don't even use that bothersome setup. I just stick the steamer nozzle straight into my cup of milk, froth it and then stick the cup under the espresso spout and finish up. In the meantime, I take off the steamer nozzle and go rinse it and put it back on. It's just a lot faster and less of a hassle.

After steaming your milk/creamer, rinse the container and fill it with water and run the steam cycle again. The hot water rinses any leftover liquid.

Absolutely. I find that cleaning it by filling it with boiling water is the best way to make sure it is totally clean of milk residue.

Yes, im not sure you could properly clean it, bacteria could easily form inside. Im not an expert on cleaning as my baby would not take this unusual, alien like nipple at all. It has a 1/4 inch hole in the top.

I always pull off the wand part of the frother and rinse it, and wipe the milk off the part still attached every time I use it. I take off the other attached part and clean the metal part of the wand only every couple of weeks. I do try to keep the gasket wiped off with a sponge, as coffee grounds get stuck in the groove.

No cleaning solution comes with it. I use dish soap, which my tube manufacturer recommends.

I empty out the milk once a day for the most and clean it off with a cloth + rinse the connectors and the hose.Because of the use I also ad fresh cool milk several times a day, so it never stays for more than half a day or the night over. Try removing the milk every night and rinsing the unit. The milk can be placed back in the refrigerator and added in the morning.This unit works to keep the milk cool BUT I do not think you can substitute a refrigerator with it.

The instructions do say to use nothing but water.It also has places that would be difficult to clean out milk residue (ie, the fill gauge).

It goes through a cleaning cycle when you turn it off. The cleaning is pretty ineffective, which I think contributes to it failing to draw milk out of the container in perhaps one out of three cycles. You really have to wash the components by hand, but even then you still get repeated blockages

Thank You for your question !! The Tubes are 1/4 inch vinyl. We have been using that type of tubing for over 20 years and we have never had any problems or complaints. Your milk does not stay in the line for very long. Silicone line does not hold up to vacuum Thank You Dan Dansha Farms

I pull it out and put it under a running open faucet. If you have the Jura Impressa Z9, I would highly recommend you remove the milk frother, pull it apart and run fresh water through it. The "Rinse Milk System" doesn't fully clean it. At first I used to disconnect the back end of the hose, put it in a container with water and press the "Milk" button, but then realized that this would shorten the life of the filters and other suppliers that are not cheap. If you do this when you are finished with a batch of coffees, you should never have to use the clean milk system solution. I pull it out and put it under a running open faucet.

I suppose this is milk remains/dirt. I never use immersion heater to heat up milk because it's too hard to clean.

I don't clean it, but a mild soap on the outside would do, and a mild white vinegar solution is what I'll run through it after weeks of use. And yes, the tank slides off into your hand which is more convenient that using the small hole in the top for filling.

I just rinse it out and turn it on to make sure the water tube is clear. I use it in the shower, so everything seems to stay very clean. The tank does disconnect completely....a long bottle brush would easily clean it.

If you make sure after pumping that the tube lines are dry, clean up consists only of the bottles, valves, etc. Easy. The pump comes with a button to push after pumping that increases the rate of suction on the tubes to dry them of humidity. Milk should not be able to get up into the tubes.

So far I have pumped about 4 bottles of Jordan's Skinny Syrup through mine and so far have not had to clean it. I had another pump a couple of years ago that needed cleaned and all I did was pump warm water through it, cleaned the nozzle right out and of course the rest of the pump too. pumped it dry a couple of times then put it back in syrup bottle and it worked fine.

take the pump out and remove the tube..look carefully inside (use a flashlight) gunk get built up along the sides of the tube (hard to see). If that is clear open up the pump it has 2 areas where u can put in a very small screwdriver to get it open. I have found tons of gunk in there. Good luck. I ended up not using mine anymore, much easier just to fill a bowl with clean water every day.

Under the FAQ section of Milkies website, it says "Q: How should I clean my Milk-Saver?A: Be sure to thoroughly clean your Milk-Saver before first use. Rinse with hot soapy water, boil or run through your dishwasher on the top rack. Between uses simply rinse the Milk-Saver and air dry on a bottle rack or clean towel." I hope that helps!
