Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid for a Professioal Coffee Maker

Many, many people believe cleaning a professional coffee maker involves wiping down the outside or rinsing out the coffee pot. That’s a big mistake. The SWF coffee machines have several components that require maintenance. For instance the brew group, water tank and filters all accumulate coffee oils and minerals. Missed cleanings on these pieces may lead to clogging or unappealing cups of coffee. Some users even avoid descaling their machine due to the belief that it will mend all. Spot the difference. But descaling clears only mineral buildup inside. There are still coffee oils and grounds stuck in the brew group or drip tray. Consider this: If you never clean the group head, coffee oils accumulate and can lead to mold or a sour flavor. SWF advises that you use only the special cleaners for coffee machines, or simple hot water. Another error is failing to clean accessories such as water filters or milk frother. These parts can also become moldy or clogged. And when you don’t rinse your milk frother out after each use, lingering milk can spoil and clog the steam wand if left unattended. Many people also neglect to empty and rinse the drip tray daily. It may be a humble thing, but let the drip tray fill up and there’s chaos. Users sometimes clean the machine once a month, or even less often, and figure that’s fine. But daily or weekly cleaning is best depending on use. Following the SWF cleaning guide makes it less likely to screw up like that. Your coffee maker should be great every time, not occasionally. Prevention can save big repairs down the line in as little as a few minutes every few weeks. Keep in mind that cleaning ensures the machine is up and running properly, not just sanitizing it. When in doubt, it’s always safest to err on the side of caution with SWF coffee machines

How Often Should I Descale Commercial Coffee Machines to Keep Them Working at Peak Performance

One of the most essential tasks for any professional coffee maker is, descaling. Over time, when the water inside the machine is heated, minerals such as calcium and magnesium begin depositing on that surface. It's that crusty top layer (otherwise known as limescale).

If you have particularly soft water, that might be all you need every two or three months. For some people, too much time goes by between descalings, because the coffee seems to taste good enough. But under the hood, the machine is sputtering. This leads to additional energy consumption and wear on the components. Another mistake is using the incorrect descaling agent. It is very vital to read the instructions attentively. For example: Some people run the descaling solution through, but then don’t rinse it well enough afterward. This can resulting bad flavors and could potentially damage the machine. Descaling is also a little different if your machine has a water softener or filter. Such accessories diminish scale, but not at the expense of descaling. Some also believe that with filters they never have to descale. This is wrong. Filters help, but scale accumulates nevertheless. It’s like donning a raincoat in the middle of a storm, it helps, but you can still get wet.
