For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Do you often see coffee spots and tea dirt on your cup, or you always feel that the cup is yellow and dirty, as if you can't wash it cleanly, and so on? how to maintain and clean the coffee cup? A cup of coffee is literally made up of "coffee" and "cup". For those who like coffee, in addition to the previous article we introduced the different uses of different coffee cups, the cleanliness of coffee cups to drink is more important.

If the use of coffee cups is a discipline, then the maintenance of coffee cups is another, for any finished coffee cup needs to be carefully cleaned, not only because of hygiene problems, but also through the cleaning and maintenance movements. it can prolong the useful life of the cup.

When cleaning coffee cups, we should pay attention to the following three key points:

1. High-quality coffee cups have tight noodles, small pores and are not easy to attach coffee dirt, so as long as you rinse with clean water immediately after drinking, you can keep the cup clean.

two。 Coffee cups that have not been rinsed immediately after long-term use or drinking will attach dirt to the surface of the cup. Soak the cup in lemonade and rinse it with clean water to remove the coffee dirt. If this can not completely remove the coffee dirt, you can dip some neutral dishwashing agent on the sponge, gently wipe and rinse, and then rinse with clean water. (note that if the material is made of metal utensils, it does not apply to lemonade! Citric acid will corrode it, causing the surface to rust or the coating to peel off)

3. In the process of cleaning coffee cups, it is especially forbidden to use hard brushes to do brushing, and to avoid using detergents such as strong acid and alkali, so as to avoid scratching and damage to the surface of coffee cups and affect the taste of drinking coffee in the future.

Most of the good coffee cups are made of porcelain. No matter how lightly scrubbed with watermelon cloth or sponge, they may leave fine scratches on the noodles of the cup. when the coffee seeps into these scratches, it is the biggest culprit that makes you unable to wash them. Therefore, in addition to the need to show mercy when cleaning, it is necessary to develop a good habit of cleaning coffee cups immediately after use.

At this time, as long as rinse with water, rub with hands can be very clean, if in the future, feel that the cup noodles are not bright enough, you can also go to a professional coffee shop to buy special cleaning powder, which has a good effect on dissolving coffee oil.
