A new method for descaling and cleaning coffee machines

Over time, a layer of scale will accumulate inside the coffee machine, affecting the quality of the coffee you make and the life of the machine. Traditional cleaning methods may not be effective or require a lot of time and effort. This article will introduce a new method to descale and clean the coffee machine, which is both efficient and simple.

Material preparation

First, we need to prepare the following materials:

• White vinegar: has the effects of removing dirt and sterilizing.
• Citric acid: can dissolve calcium and magnesium ion precipitates in water.
• Paper towels or soft cloth: For wiping and removing residue.

Step 1: Disassemble and clean the filter basket

First, remove the filter basket from the coffee machine and clean it thoroughly. You can use warm water and a little detergent to gently scrub it, and wipe it clean with a paper towel or soft cloth. Make sure the filter basket is completely dry before putting it back in place.

Step 2: Prepare the cleaning solution

Next, we need to prepare the cleaning solution. Mix the appropriate amount of white vinegar and citric acid in a ratio of 1:1. This solution has a strong descaling effect and will not cause damage to the inside of the coffee machine.

Step 3: Run the cleaning program

Pour the prepared cleaning solution into the coffee machine water tank and run the cleaning program according to the instructions in the instruction manual. This process usually takes a while to allow the solution to fully flow through all pipes and parts and thoroughly remove the internal scale.

Step 4: Rinse and wipe

When the cleaning process is complete, pour out the remaining solution in the water tank and rinse it with pure water. Then use a paper towel or soft cloth to carefully wipe the coffee machine housing and various parts to ensure that there is no residue.

Step 5: Repeat (optional)

If you feel that all the scale has not been completely removed, you can repeat the above steps. But please be careful not to use this cleaning method frequently to avoid damaging the coffee machine.

Conclusion

This new method of descaling and cleaning your coffee machine makes it easy to keep it in good working order. A thorough cleaning every once in a while will not only improve the quality of your coffee, but also extend the life of your machine.
