Along with many other things, a cup of coffee in the morning just after waking up is an icon of our modern culture. Some of us can’t really just live without it! But we also don’t need just a random cup of coffee, we need a high quality cup of coffee that we can fall in love with. And so, it's a very common sight to see a lovely coffee maker resting in a kitchen corner somewhere in many homes today. This of course is so that we can be our own barista!
But here’s an interesting story: Imagine that one day you woke up, you turned on your trusty coffee maker to start your day only to find that you received a funny-smelling cup of coffee. In the best scenario, this could be that you were just a little off from your usual routine and made some slight errors in the formula. But in the worst case, that odorous cup of coffee you are holding could be the source of all food poisoning disasters waiting to happen.
Imagine this next: You dismantle your coffee maker only to find a mess of mildew, mold, yeast and other unidentifiable substances lurking in your coffee machine. While unlikely, this horrifying scene is what would happen if you do not treat your coffee maker regularly. Because the coffee beans have natural oil and other minerals in them, these substances will accumulate very quickly with your brewing and become an ideal environment for the mentioned contaminants to grow.
Although that sounds quite scary, the problem can also be prevented by simply implementing a frequent cleaning routine. After all, cleaning a coffee maker is not that much of a troublesome chore. Did you know that you can easily clean your coffee machine with a simple blend of lemon juice, baking soda and vinegar? And did you also know that a dirty coffee machine is the primary cause of early cease-to-functions among coffee makers?
