FAQ About Coffee Brewing
How often should I clean my coffee maker?
It's generally recommended to clean your coffee maker at least once a month, although how often you need to clean it may depend on how frequently you use it. If you use your coffee maker daily, you may want to clean it more frequently to prevent buildup of coffee oils and other residues that can affect the taste of your coffee and damage the machine over time.
In addition to regular monthly cleaning, you may also want to descale your coffee maker every three to six months, especially if you have hard water. Descaling involves removing mineral buildup that can occur over time due to the use of hard water. You can use a commercial descaling solution or make your own solution with equal parts water and white vinegar. Follow the instructions in your coffee maker's manual or the descaling solution's instructions to properly descale your machine.
How often you clean your coffee maker will depend on your usage and preferences, but regular cleaning and maintenance will help keep your machine in good working condition and ensure that your coffee tastes its best.
