Coffee machine descaling tutorial recommended cleaning guide for home coffee machines! Home coffee machine maintenance methods How to replace the rubber ring?

Because of the widespread popularity of coffee culture and the growing demand for coffee. Many manufacturers have launched Italian coffee machines, commonly known as household machines, which are suitable for family use. Compared with commercial coffee makers, home machines are not only smaller in size, but also more user-friendly in price. As a result, more and more friends bought coffee makers and began to make their own espresso at home.

But Qianjie believes that most of the friends who buy coffee machines are not coffee practitioners. So in the face of the coffee machine, many people don't know how to clean it. If there is no habit of cleaning, then the coffee machine will be prone to all kinds of problems after long-term use. For example: weakening steam, uneven hot water dripping from the boiling head, unstable extraction pressure, leakage after the handle is fastened, and so on. It doesn't matter. Qianjie will share today how the daily maintenance and deep cleaning of the coffee machine should be carried out. So that the coffee machine can be used for a long time, the wallet does not have to bear the "disaster of arrogance". So let's start with the daily cleaning of the coffee machine.

Daily cleaning of the steam bar after we get rid of the foam, there will be a small amount of milk left on the sprinkler of the steam stick. If it is not removed in time, the milk will be baked and coked to form milk scale by the residual temperature of the steam stick after spraying steam. Milk dirt will not only block the holes of steam, but also easily smell because of deterioration over a long period of time.

So, we can prepare a clean and moist cloth. Wipe the sprinkler with this cloth quickly after the milk is finished, and then turn on the steam again to spray the milk that remains inside, so that a simple cleaning of the steam bar can be completed.

The daily cleaning of the water distribution network is the place closest to the coffee pressed powder in the brewing head. when we extract the coffee and take off the handle, a lot of coffee powder will be adsorbed on the water distribution network because of pressure relief. If it is not removed in time, the coffee powder will be dried by the high temperature of the boiling head, and then affect the extraction and taste of the next cup of coffee.

Therefore, the water distribution network is also the object that needs to be cleaned! However, it can be cleaned in two ways. One is easy cleaning: after the extraction is completed, we open the water valve and empty the hot water for once, so that we can quickly remove the coffee powder left on the water distribution network. But this method can't take away the coffee powder outside the water distribution network, so at the end of the day, we need to use a brush with empty water to clean the surrounding area.

Third, if the daily cleaning of the handle is a friend who uses the shunt handle, you also need to clean the inside of the handle at the end of the day. Because after a day of extraction, there must be a lot of coffee stains left in the pipe in the handle. If it is not cleaned in time, it will accumulate for a long time, which will also affect the taste of coffee. Not only that, but also have an impact on health.

Therefore, after daily use, we had better pry out the powder bowl and wash the handle. And friends who use bottomless handles can clean the powder bowls. after all, the focus of their cleaning is not on the handle, but on the coffee machine which is frantically splashed with the bottomless handle! So the above is the daily cleaning of the coffee machine! Next, let's talk about the deep cleaning of the coffee machine in front of the street! Because each person uses the frequency is different, so everyone can decide the time of deep cleaning according to their own use. For example, if you use it frequently, if you have a friend who has more than 10 cups or more a day, then it will be cleared in a few days (one clear a day is the best). And if it is used less frequently, such as one cup a day, then … It's up to you, huh?

Deep cleaning of the steam bar even after we finish the daily cleaning, there will still be a lot of milk left in the cracks that we can't wash. Therefore, during deep cleaning, we can remove the sprinkler, throw it into any container, and then take out the cleaning powder of the coffee maker and soak it with hot water (steam sticks can also be soaked).

Take it out when you are ready to use it the next day, clean it up and put it back! Cleaning powder cleaning effect Gaga good, basically hidden in the cracks of the dirt can be dissolved by him, take out!

Deep cleaning of the coffee machine pipe at the end of the extraction, a lot of hot water will remain in the powder bowl because it is too late to discharge, and then the coffee machine will suck the hot water back and discharge it through the outlet when the coffee machine is under pressure. Because the water has come into contact with coffee powder, it is not only hot water, but also a lot of coffee. These substances will not be completely discharged from the outlet, but will remain in the pipe! If we do not clean it in time, the dirt will become more and more, which will eventually affect the extraction of coffee.

Therefore, after we have used it many times, we can backwash the coffee machine to make the pipe clean! The specific method is to replace the perforated powder bowl on the handle with a blind bowl without holes, then pour some cleaning powder and buckle the cooking head. Then start the extraction key, let the hot water dissolve the cleaning powder, and then clean the water distribution network. Wait about 10 seconds, turn off the extraction, so that the hot water with a cleaning effect will be discharged from the outlet along the pipe, and in the process, they can clean the pipe. You can repeat it three times without taking it off.

Third, the replacement of the coffee machine apron if we have dripping or leaking in the process of extraction, it means that the apron is aging and the sealing effect becomes worse. Then at this time we need to buy rubber rings from the Internet and replace them! And the specific replacement methods are different because the coffee machines are different, so Qianjie suggests that you contact the manufacturer to inquire. Generally speaking, the life of the apron will be about half a year to a year.

Other items that need to be cleaned are mainly the water tank in the coffee machine and the filter element maintenance of the water supply system. They will accumulate more scale after long-term use, and if they are not cleaned regularly, it will cause some obstacles to the extraction. Therefore, we need to replace and clean it regularly. Generally speaking, the filter element can be replaced once a month. On the other hand, the cleaning cycle of the water tank can be extended a little longer, but as it involves disassembly, friends with less outstanding hands-on ability had better contact the master to clean up.
