Have you often been annoyed that your coffee machine looks dingy and wondered how you could get rid of it? We have collected tips for you on how to properly clean the coffee machine.
A clean coffee maker
Of course, you should be careful when pouring coffee, but a drop of coffee often gets caught on the “snout”. This is very annoying, especially on festive occasions, since the housewife really wants to shine here. The stains are particularly noticeable on porcelain pots, which are also available with some coffee services. Unfortunately, they can also be seen clearly in the jug there. And different types of coffee machines also have to be cleaned regularly.
Clean and rinse the coffee machine properly
You need a clean coffee machine to enjoy absolutely delicious coffee. But this needs to be cleaned. But cleaning the coffee machine properly is very simple: add some washing-up liquid to the water and then brush it off with a washing-up brush or sponge. But be careful with the insulating insert: You should only clean it with a bottle brush or a soft cloth.
Just clean the coffee pot
To clean the coffee pot, simply take any brand of washing-up liquid – commercially available – into the water and gently brush the pot with a brush, sponge, and bottle brush. The insulating insert of a thermos flask can also be cleaned with detergent and a bottle brush or a soft cloth. However, please do not place the jug in the rinsing water, otherwise, it can fill with water at the bottom – if the insert is not screwed on completely tightly.
This can lead to rust spots and later to the bursting of the insulating insert. It is best to clean your coffee machine beforehand using a water-vinegar solution or a commercially available cleaning powder for coffee machines and then the coffee pot or thermos flask so that the coffee tastes perfect again. You should descale the coffee machine at least once a month, especially if the water is hard.
Alternatively, you can simply take a dishwashing tab for the coffee pot, but especially for a thermal pot with a coating inside, and let it soak in with hot water in the till. It’s easy, quick, and thorough.
