With the wear and tear your office puts on its coffee machine, it can get gross or broken. Proper service is vital for keeping your coffee machine clean and functioning. You and your office can’t go without your coffee, so here are some tips for keeping your machine functional.
Basic Cleaning
Basic cleaning of a coffee machine isn’t hard and can result in better coffee. Assign someone in your office, or having a rotating duty, to do basic cleaning of the coffee machine. If your machine has a coffee pot or thermal carafe in which coffee sits all day, clean it out with soap and water at the end of the day. If cleaned at the end of the day, the pot or carafe can air dry all night and be fresh and clean for morning coffee.
Any easy-to-remove parts should be washed frequently. If not every few days, at least once a week. Take all removable parts, such as drip-catching trays or baskets that hold coffee grounds or pods, and wash them in warm, soapy water. Filter-less baskets for grounds should be cleaned daily along with the pot.
Deep Cleaning
Once a month, run a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts water through your machine to remove any internal buildup. Referred to as “descaling,” this process can result in cleaner tasting coffee. Be sure to run one or two rounds of plain water through the machine afterwards to flush out any remaining vinegar.
Professional Servicing
If you buy your office coffee machines in Los Angeles or from a distributor in another city, the distributor may offer servicing of the machine. If any parts are broken, making unusual noises, or producing sub-par coffee, call your distributor for servicing. They may also be able to provide deep cleaning services and answer your questions about proper basic cleaning practices. This way, you can always have top quality coffee from your machine.
