Coffee Equipment Maintenance FAQ
What coffee equipment maintenance matters most?
Clean anything that touches coffee oils, milk, or mineral-heavy water on a schedule you can actually keep. Espresso machines need the most care; grinders and brewers mainly need oil, dust, and residue controlled.
What to Check First
Backflush espresso machines when the manufacturer recommends it.
Clean grinders before rancid oils build up.
Use water that limits scale without tasting flat.
