A 195 mm Ebony Stick Can Sweep Group-Head Fines Faster Than A Cloth
A portafilter knocks out, a thin rim of baked coffee sits on the group ledge, and a dishcloth smears it into oil. Next shot tastes a little darker. The machine is fine. The close-out step is missing. Coffee Brush fixes that with the oldest possible format: a dense wood handle, a small rectangular head, and a dry sweep that moves grounds into the knock box instead of rubbing them into chrome.

Can a 195 mm ebony stick sweep group-head fines faster than a cloth, why does a 34x30mm head fit the portafilter better than a wide paint brush, and how does a Wenzhou coffee-accessory maker build one barista brush that works on espresso machines, grinders, and steam wands without turning into a gadget.
Small head, specific job
The brush head is 34x30mm. That is not a floor scrubber and not a pastry brush.
It is sized for the places coffee actually hides:
espresso group head shelf
portafilter lip after knock-out
grinder throat or chute mouth
steam wand base where milk dries
drip tray ledge and machine top during close-out
A 40 mm wide head jams the portafilter spout. A 34x30mm rectangle clears the lip, reaches the ledge, and backs out without flipping grounds onto the shower screen. The job is sweep, not scrub.
Ebony handle survives the espresso station microclimate
The handle material is Ebony. On a busy bar that matters more than it sounds.
Espresso-station conditions are rough for wood:
Oak can warp across the grain. Polypropylene can go chalky near the group head. Ebony is denser, more dimensionally stable, and rejects coffee-oil staining better in daily café use. The handle does not need to be fancy. It needs to stay straight, stay smooth, and not grow furry after three months on the rail.
195 mm length and 39.2 g weight are not random
Overall dimension is Diameter 15mm x 195mm. Net and packed weight are both 0.0392kgs, or 39.2g.
Why that number works:
a 70g brush fatigues the wrist by shot 120
a 20g brush has no authority to move baked fines
39.2g with a 195mm lever gives enough sweep without jarring the group
a barista doing 150 to 200 group-head swipes per shift stays comfortable
a home user pulling two shots a day still gets a balanced tool
The brush is manual, not powered. No batteries, no replacement heads, no app. That is the point.
Where the Coffee Brush belongs on the bar
Use it for dry residue and daily close-out:
sweep baked fines off the group ledge
wipe the portafilter lip before tamp
dislodge static fines at the grinder chute mouth
dry-sweep milk residue at the steam wand collar
clear the drip tray ledge at the end of the shift
Do not use it for jobs it was never built for:
Those need a grinder-specific long brush, a citric tablet, or a wrench. The Coffee Brush is the quick tool between shots, not the deep-service kit.
Pairs well with a barista close-out kit
One brush rarely runs alone in a café.
Common companion items on the same XS PO:
tamper mat
knock box
microfiber cloth
backflush disc
group-head brush
dosing cup or bean scoop
Together they form a close-out ritual: knock, brush, backflush, wipe, reset. The Coffee Brush is the first move after the cup leaves the spout.
XS Sous Vide / Wenzhou X Machinery backdrop
The product sits under XS Sous Vide / Wenzhou X Machinery Co., Ltd., based in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China.
The maker supplies sous vide and coffee-bar accessories for export customers, so the brush is built to hang on a hook 10 cm from the group head, ship in a slim polybag or tag, and survive daily café handling rather than sit in a gift box. For distributors, the value is simple: low weight, low damage risk, small carton, and a product name buyers already search.
