Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining coffee maker performance and ensuring great-tasting coffee. Here’s a comprehensive cleaning routine:
- Daily: Rinse removable parts and wipe down the exterior
- Weekly: Wash removable parts with warm, soapy water
- Monthly: Descale using white vinegar or commercial descaling solution
For monthly descaling:
- Mix equal parts water and white vinegar
- Run a brew cycle with this solution
- Run 2-3 cycles with fresh water to rinse
For espresso machines, use specialized cleaning tablets and backflush regularly. Clean grinders by running grinder cleaning pellets monthly and brushing out excess grounds weekly. Never submerge electrical components in water.
