Keeping your coffee maker or espresso machine clean is crucial for great-tasting coffee and long-lasting equipment. Here are our top three reasons to clean it regularly:
-
Better Tasting Coffee – Coffee oils, mineral buildup, and old grounds can create bitterness and off-flavors. A clean machine ensures every cup tastes fresh and smooth.
-
Longer Equipment Lifespan – Scale buildup from hard water and coffee residue can clog internal components, leading to malfunctions or costly repairs. Regular cleaning helps your machine run efficiently and last longer.
-
Health & Hygiene – Moist environments inside coffee machines can breed mold, bacteria, and yeast. Keeping it clean prevents contamination and ensures a safer brewing process
If you have an espresso machine, we recommend weekly backflushing, regular descaling, and deep cleaning parts like the group head, portafilter, and steam wand!
