Regularly cleaning your coffee machine has many benefits, including providing general hygiene and improving the taste of your coffee!
Brewing gaskets often accumulate old and burnt-on coffee which affects the flavor in the coffee-making process, making it sour, bitter, or metallic in taste. Instead of letting your coffee machine build up in grime and dirt, cleaning it each night after a day’s work will help regulate the build-up.
Clean bean hopper and grinders every few weeks to remove any oily buildup. Make sure to run a strong solution of vinegar or coffee equipment cleaner through your coffee maker to dissolve away any mineral deposits, at least once a month. Rinse thoroughly before reuse to make the perfect cup of coffee every time.
