Coffee Guardian™ Officially AICAF Approved for 2025/26
Coffee Guardian: Officially AICAF Approved for 2025/26
Grease Guardian® is proud to announce that its Coffee Guardian™ range is AICAF approved for another year, receiving recognition from the prestigious Italian Academy of Coffee Masters.
What is Coffee Guardian™?
The Coffee Guardian™ is a smart, stainless steel coffee waste filtration system designed to capture coffee grinds directly from barista machines or sink waste lines, preventing blockages and drain issues.
Coffee grinds may appear harmless, but they’re one of the leading causes of internal pipe blockages in cafés and coffee shops. Once wet, grounds bind together and settle in plumbing, resulting in backups, unpleasant odours, and expensive maintenance.
The Coffee Guardian™ solves this with an innovative fine mesh filter sock, a biodegradable insert that traps coffee waste while allowing water to pass through cleanly to the outlet pipe.
Key Benefits
✅ Prevents Drain Blockages – Effectively traps coffee grounds and fine sediment before they reach drainage system.
✅ Reduces Maintenance Costs – Minimises the need for costly drain jetting and emergency callouts.
✅Quick and Easy to Install – Fits under sinks or connects directly to coffee machines for minimal disruption.
✅ Biodegradable Filter Socks – Eco-friendly inserts that are easy to replace and dispose of sustainably.
✅ Durable Stainless Steel Build – Hygienic, long-lasting and ideal for busy café environments.
