Today the joy of home-made gourmet coffee prepared with a single touch of a button is a mission very much possible. However, keeping the coffee machine clean is not as simple as that. Poor maintenance could not only damage taste quality, but it could become the main reason of your coffee machine’s failure.

So, how to enjoy your favourite coffee and long serving coffee machine without investing a lot of time into it? Check out the tips and tricks below, and we promise to surprise you with a revolutionary way to maintain your milk system.

Sparkling clean – for highest quality taste

I believe you already know that great coffee flavour does not depend only on high quality coffee beans and a fancy machine. Your coffee machine needs constant care to serve one great cup after another. I’ve already mentioned that the lack of hygiene is one of the main causes of your coffee machine’s failure. But did you know that this cause of failure is not covered by warranty? We got this confirmed by Kasparas, The Coffee Mate’s head of service centre. According to him, improper maintenance gives the manufacturer the right to dismiss warranty, and problems caused by lack of care usually are pretty pricey to solve. So, how to take care of your coffee machine properly and avoid this situation? Check out these tips and tricks:

1. Daily milk system cleaning

All Coffee Mates would unanimously agree on the fact that cleaning the milk system requires the most attention. And of course, milk residue or even spoiled milk would not only ruin the taste of the drink, but also get in a way of perfect milk foam preparation. So, hygiene is your number one duty. “Rinsing function” will rinse the milk system, but won’t clean it entirely – it’s only the first step. It’s important to clean it by hand under the water stream every day, if needed, use special cleaners or other maintenance supplies for removable parts. Repeat the procedure daily in order to avoid long leftover scraping. In addition, during an especially hot summer, if the coffee machine is placed in a really warm place, I would recommend cleaning the milk system even twice per day, just to be sure.

2. Grounds container and drip tray – cleaning at the end of each day

Coffee machine’s drip tray and used coffee grounds container should be emptied and cleaned at the end of each day. This way extraneous scents won’t accumulate, as the fluids entering the area will not start fermenting.

3. Cleaning of a brewing unit – once in 2-3 weeks

It doesn’t require an everyday care, however once or twice a month would be more than ideal.

The rest depends on the coffee preparation frequency and water hardness. The coffee machine itself will inform you when it needs descaling or other cleaning procedures that require special measures.
