Coffee!
Nothing quite beats waking up to the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of fresh coffee brewing in your small coffee machine. A coffee maker at its peak can brew an outstanding cup of drip coffee, though the performance of the machine can quickly go downhill if things aren’t kept clean. People that know about coffee understand that it takes a bit of work to keep the coffee tasting consistently great. In fact, one of the most critical components in achieving coffee greatness is using clean equipment, which includes the filter cone, water reservoir, carafe or anything else that might come into contact with your freshly brewed coffee. Fortunately, keeping your machine squeaky clean is very easy to do and doesn’t require any specialized equipment or fancy cleaners.
The primary culprits that can wreak havoc on otherwise great coffee are rancid coffee oils and residues. You see, when you brew a cup of coffee there are quite a bit of oils that are released from the beans. The goal is for you to get as many of these oils as possible into your cup with the coffee itself, since the oils themselves contain quite a bit of the delicate flavors you desire. Of course, inevitably, some of the oils will stick to various components on your coffee maker, in your carafe and even in your coffee mug. Over time these oils tend to turn rancid and they will have a negative impact on the taste of your coffee.
Cleaning your small coffee maker is quite simple and only requires some white distilled vinegar, some water and a couple of brushes; one small and the other medium sized. To make the cleaning solution simply combine 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water. You will want to mix enough solution to perform one cycle through your coffee maker, so be sure to completely fill the water reservoir. Run the solution through the machine and discard the heated vinegar and water solution. Before rinsing the machine it’s important that you use your two brushes to really scrub the internal components of your machine. Because small coffee pots are more difficult to clean, you will want to be sure you use the smaller brush when necessary. After scrubbing it’s important that you run two complete cycles using just clean water, which will serve to rinse the machine. That’s all there is to it.
