The cleaning of the coffee machine is as important as the making of coffee.

Making good coffee is very important for a coffee shop. The cleaning of the coffee machine is as important as the production of coffee.

So how do you clean up the coffee maker?

First of all, you need to buy a vacuum cleaner. This vacuum cleaner is not used to clean the floor, but to remove coffee powder from the bean grinder after work every day. Even the best bean grinder leaves some coffee powder inside the machine after a day's work. The oil released by coffee powder will stick to the inside of the machine, affecting the quality of coffee. When cleaning the bean grinder, you just need to remove the bean bin, point the vacuum cleaner at the interface, and start vacuuming until no coffee powder is sucked out and the bean grinder is thoroughly cleaned. In addition, you need to empty the bean warehouse after work every day.

Second, the outlet of the coffee machine must be cleaned every two hours, otherwise the coffee will taste bitter, muddy and dirty. You can use simple tools such as spray cans to clean corners that are difficult to reach with a rag. In addition, you need to remove the filter bowl from the handle regularly for cleaning.

Scale is the invisible killer of coffee machines. Although it can't be seen from the outside, over time, calcium and other minerals will form scale inside the coffee machine, damage the heating boiler and outlet pipe of the coffee machine, and affect the overall production of coffee.

The coffee machine works simply because it keeps boiling water, so many minerals in the water remain in the coffee machine. The scale inside the coffee machine will not only affect the quality of the coffee, but also seriously damage the coffee machine itself. "if left unchecked, your coffee will stop working sooner or later." If the coffee machine really breaks down, your coffee shop will get into trouble. The best way to solve this problem is to install the water filtration system, maintain and replace the filter element regularly.

You need to decide which filter to install according to the local water quality. In my store, we choose reverse osmosis filtration system. If the water quality in your area is good, you can install a simpler filter. The filter element must be changed regularly. Mark the replacement date on your calendar. If you don't replace it, your coffee shop will face huge problems.

Although some people may be skeptical about the safety of chemicals, it is recommended to manually clean the scale in the coffee machine. In order to minimize the use of chemicals, supersonic scale cleaners are recommended. This instrument can clean up the scale by generating high-frequency shock waves. Nowadays, many coffee shops use detergents and sealed filter bowls to remove scale, but this method has limited effect. If you want to clean it up thoroughly, you need to turn off the power and then carefully check the coffee maker instructions. If you have any questions, please consult a professional mechanic.

Finally, use professional detergents to clean instruments that are often in direct contact with coffee, such as handles, hand filter bowls, etc. These detergents can clean up the residual coffee grease where the water is out of reach. I sometimes use this medicine to clean coffee cups, and the effect is really good.

The cleaning of coffee equipment is really simple. As long as you keep cleaning every day, your coffee will be perfect, your coffee shop will be clean and tidy, and your coffee maker will last longer.
