How to extend the life of your coffee machine? This is closely related to proper operation and maintenance of the coffee machine. Let's first understand the correct operation process of the coffee machine!

1. Turn on the coffee machine at work in the morning and turn on the steam valve until the coffee machine is heated to steam. Wait for the coffee machine to heat up.

Second, first wipe the handle clean with a dry cloth to ensure that there is no impurity inside the handle.

Third, then turn on the bean grinder while grinding the powder. Do not leave the powder in the powder groove of the bean grinder to ensure that each cup of coffee is freshly ground. After the powder is beaten, smooth the coffee powder with your hands and clean the buckles on both sides of the handle.

IV. Then fill the powder with a filling rod (do not beat the handle)

5. Before buckling up, open the brewing head of the coffee machine and let the water flow out for 2-3 seconds (Note: You don't need to buckle hard when you buckle the handle, you only need to bring a little force. This will greatly extend the service life of our brewing head seal ring)

6. The handle must be pressed to brew coffee within 3 seconds after the machine is buckled, because the coffee surface in the handle has been roasted to make the coffee taste burnt.

So we've got a cup of espresso, and then we've got frothing.

7. When we foam milk, we have to put steam first. When you put steam, you will find that it is water rather than steam. This is why we put steam.

Eight, just said before the milk foam needs to put steam, then after the milk foam we have to wipe the steam rod with a damp cloth. Every time you finish frothing, don't care how the frothing is done. The first thing is to wipe the steam rod clean and then put steam to flush out the milk remaining in the steam rod. This not only makes the guests feel comfortable but also reduces the failure rate of the coffee machine.

After completing the above process, a cup of strong coffee is ready

Here a cup of coffee operation process to the end of here, I believe you can make a cup of delicious coffee according to this process! You are also inadvertently extending the life of the coffee machine!

Shutdown after work:

First, clean the brewing head of the coffee machine when closing the coffee machine.

Specific cleaning process is: 1, put the double-outlet handle on the cleaning gasket will handle the net plug. 2. Buckle the handle on the brewing head and start pressing the key to rinse. 3. Press the key to rinse once for 7-10 seconds, and rinse repeatedly for 5 times. (Most machines have automatic cleaning function)

After cleaning, you can turn off the coffee machine power supply, and open the steam valve to let the steam exhaust after the power is turned off.

That's how the coffee machine works.

Coffee machine maintenance.

The water in the boiler of the coffee machine will not circulate, so in order to clean the inside of the coffee machine, we have to change the water in the boiler regularly. That is to say, the water in the boiler is completely emptied, and then replenished.

2, the coffee machine can not be used as a water boiler, because the boiler of the coffee machine is a copper boiler, a large amount of water leads to repeated hot and cold alternating, thus making the service life of the coffee machine short.

3, the water quality requirements are very high, coffee machine can not use tap water should be installed soft water and better water purifier and to regularly replace the filter to ensure that our water quality can meet the requirements. (For example, if a coffee machine installed with water softener and water purifier can last for 10 years, then an uninstalled coffee machine can only last for 5 years.) Because the most harmful to the coffee machine is water, water is not good will produce a lot of scale in the coffee machine in the various pipes, heating pipes, solenoid valves, brewing head, boiler, etc...)
