Proper use and cleaning steps of coffee machine
1. What is the best brand of coffee machine?
After coffee became a common drink in OL, coffee machine became a necessary household appliance. So what brand of coffee machine is better? The better brands of coffee machines in the market are Philips, Electrolux, Kun Can, Braun, Delong, Swiss Coffee Man, Panasonic, Jiahui, SKG and Yourui.
Second, how to use the coffee machine
Although they are all brewed by coffee machine, the different types of machines will affect the way hot water contacts coffee powder. Of course, the matters needing attention when brewing coffee are different. Therefore, before buying a coffee machine, you'd better try it out. If you can't try it out, you can also consult relevant information online before buying.
1, control variable
When using coffee machine to brew coffee, the water temperature is mostly high. Because it is impossible to control the water temperature and the way of hot water injection, it needs to be adjusted by the amount of raw materials, coffee powder and the size of grinding particles. If you think coffee tastes heavy, you can try to choose coffee beans with low roasting degree or coffee powder with large particles.
2. About heat preservation
When we use the coffee machine, the metropolis turns on the heat preservation function, but if you pay attention to the taste of coffee, I suggest you cancel the heat preservation function. The aroma of coffee contains many volatile components. If stored at high temperature for a long time, it will promote the change of composition. If you keep the coffee machine warm for 10 minutes, you can easily detect the change of bitterness, acidity and aroma of coffee. There is a thermos bottle on the market that does not need to be heated. Although the taste will be lost compared with the freshly brewed coffee, if it is necessary to keep warm, it is better to choose a thermos with a smaller heat load.
Third, the classification of coffee machines
1, automatic coffee machine
The operation of the automatic coffee machine is very simple. First, we need to turn on the power first. The power supply that the coffee machine must connect is the power supply of the A/C socket, and then turn on the power supply; Secondly, put the coffee beans into the coffee machine bean box, which is almost 80% full; Then, take away the water tank of the coffee machine, fill the water tank with almost three quarters of water, put the water tank back into the machine, cover the water tank, and make coffee after the preparation is completed. Some coffee machines are equipped with powder slot buttons, while others are not. The specific buttons vary from coffee machine to coffee machine.
2, semi-automatic coffee machine
Before using the semi-automatic coffee machine, you need to grind the coffee beans into powder, then put the coffee powder into the handle groove, but don't fill the handle groove, just fill it about two-thirds, and then flatten the coffee powder with a powder pressing tool. When the coffee powder is flattened, you can use the semi-automatic coffee machine. Turn on the power first, then aim the pressed coffee powder at the mouth of the coffee machine at a 45-degree angle and rotate it to the right until the cover is tight. Finally, you just need to put the coffee in the cup.
3. Trickle filter coffee machine
Before using drip coffee, you need to preheat the coffee pot, then add a filter paper to the funnel of the coffee machine, and put 7 to 9 grams of coffee powder in each cup. Close the funnel door, add 175 ml water to the tank, and turn on the power supply. After the boiling process is completed, when the glass pot is taken out, the coffee machine will automatically turn on the drip prevention function.
4, high pressure steam coffee machine
As the name implies, the high-pressure steam coffee machine is a combination of pumping and steam. The drip coffee maker mentioned above uses one atmospheric pressure when making coffee, that is, at normal pressure, while the pump coffee maker uses the pressure principle. When brewing coffee, the pressure of water is greater than one atmosphere, generally 5- 19 atmosphere, and the coffee essence is quickly extracted. The brewed coffee is very fragrant and has a layer of grease foam.
Fourth, how to clean the coffee machine
Tools required:
1, coffee machine cleaning powder;
2, anti-dishwashing;
3, long handle coffee machine cleaning brush.
Cleaning steps
1. Take out the metal coffee filter in the handle of the coffee machine, and then put the blind bowl (anti-cleaning dishes) into the coffee handle. If you don't have a blind bowl, you must have a rubber blind pad when you buy a coffee machine, or put the rubber blind pad directly into the metal coffee filter, and remember that there is an obvious convex side up.
2. If it is cleaned every day, take 1 tablespoon of cleaning powder; If you don't clean it often, take 2 spoonfuls and put them in a blind bowl or rubber blind pad.
3. Don't press the handle of the coffee machine in a hurry, press the brewing button of the coffee machine, and use the cleaning brush of the coffee machine to distribute the water network when the brewing head works. The reason for this is to prevent excessive superfine coffee powder from entering the coffee machine in the subsequent backwashing process. Brush the water without coffee grounds and you can turn off the brewing button.
4. Tighten the handle, press the brewing button of the coffee machine, run for about 10 second, and then turn it off for 10 second, so that the detergent can be fully dissolved. Opening 10 second, closing 10 second, once; After repeating it for 4-5 times, turn off the coffee brewing button.
5. Remove the handle, clean it, re-fasten the coffee machine, press the brewing button of the coffee machine, run for 5 seconds, turn it off for 2 seconds, and repeat 7- 10 times to ensure sufficient cleaning.
6. Remove the handle and wash the inner groove of the cooking head with a cleaning brush again to avoid residual coffee grounds and cleaning powder.
Suggestion: In order to ensure the quality of coffee machine and the original flavor of coffee, it is recommended to clean it once a day, make a cup of espresso after cleaning, and clean all the residue.
The purpose of cleaning
Understand the cleaning process, and then talk about why we need to clean. Coffee will secrete oil, which will condense on the internal parts of the coffee machine; After a long time, the oil will be burnt by high temperature, which will bring strange bitterness and sour taste to coffee. You can't cook in a dirty pot, let alone make coffee in a dirty coffee machine. This is a truth!
Clean up not only the surface we see, but also the inside!
How to use coffee machine to clean and maintain coffee machine
1. Treatment of scale: It is the most important step to clean the scale of coffee machine regularly. After the coffee machine is used for a period of time, some scale will remain in the coffee machine. If these scales are left in the coffee machine for a long time, it will cause pipeline blockage, less coffee after brewing, slow outflow, and even cause the coffee machine to "strike" in serious cases. Therefore, it is suggested that you determine a period to clean the scale of coffee machine according to the frequency of using coffee machine. The specific method for determining the descaling cycle of coffee machine is as follows:
A. Clean every 6090 days: This time period is more suitable for home users who only use 12 people, only occasionally taste coffee, and make coffee machines with less than 34 cups of coffee every day. B, once every 3060 days: This time period is suitable for 35 people, who have the habit of drinking coffee, and use the coffee machine to make coffee every day, but the quantity is below 10 cups.
C, cleaning once every 1030 days: this time period is suitable for families with large population who often use coffee machines or small and medium-sized companies and enterprise users with more than 10 people. For the use of this frequency, it is recommended to thoroughly clean the water system of the coffee machine at least every 30 days.
2. Treatment of oil pollution: As we all know, coffee beans will shed some oil during grinding, and these oils will adhere to the bean grinder of coffee machine. When maintaining the coffee machine, the attached coffee oil needs to be cleaned regularly, just like cleaning the scale regularly. If the coffee oil is not cleaned for a long time, the ground beans will not be broken or slippery when using the coffee machine, which will affect the normal use of the coffee machine. When cleaning coffee oil, if the movement cannot be taken out and cleaned by itself, it is recommended to find a professional coffee company to complete the regular cleaning of coffee oil.
3. Disposal of residue: Now many coffee machines have automatic cleaning, which is a very practical function. After each use of the coffee machine, follow the steps in the manual to clean the coffee machine, or you can maintain the coffee machine. When cleaning the coffee machine, it is important to pay attention to whether the coffee grounds and milk grounds are cleaned. If you can't clean it once, you might as well clean it again, or manually clean some parts, so as to achieve satisfactory results. Tips for coffee machine maintenance: For the cleaning agent used for coffee machine maintenance, it is recommended that you buy the products recommended by this brand. Or go directly to a large supermarket to buy a professional cleaning agent. In addition, when cleaning the coffee machine, it must be used in strict accordance with the prescribed dosage, because these cleaning agents are corrosive, and excessive dosage will also cause certain corrosion to the inside of the coffee machine.
