Coffee Machine Care Guide

Coffee Machine Care Guide

Perfect coffee comes from a great coffee machine, and keeping it clean will keep it performing optimally for longer. 
Built up oils, limescale and grime can make coffee taste bitter and a build up of milk residue can alter the desired texture of your coffee. Use our cleaning guide to keep it clean and performing optimally.

Understanding your water’s hardness is crucial for keeping your coffee machine in top shape. To find out the water in your area, you can;

1. Perform a water hardness test with the kit included with your coffee machine. 

2. Conduct a postcode search using an online Water Hardness Map Search.

Once you know the water hardness area you live in, read your machine instructions and set the correct water hardness level using your instruction manual.

Before and after each use

Removing milk residue will keep your milky coffees perfectly textured, the best way to remove it is right away so it doesn’t have a chance to harden.

If you use a milk carafe, turn the dial on your carafe to “clean”, or press the “clean” button on the top of your machine.

If you use a steam wand, clean the nozzle with a damp cloth and release a short burst of steam.

Wipe away any milk or water that may have landed on your drip tray while your coffee was being prepared.
