Smeg Coffee Machine Repairs In Adelaide

To ensure your coffee always tastes fresh and your machine lasts longer, regular cleaning is essential.

Daily Maintenance:
After each use, clean the removable parts—such as the carafe, brew basket, and water reservoir (if detachable). This prevents the buildup of coffee oils, residue, and mould, which can affect the flavour and hygiene of your brew.

Weekly Cleaning:
Wipe down the exterior and internal components (like the drip tray and nozzle) with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly to avoid any detergent taste.

Monthly to Quarterly Descaling:
Descaling is crucial for removing mineral deposits (like calcium and lime) that build up from water, especially if you use hard water.
For light use (1–2 cups/day): descale every 3 months
For heavy use or hard water areas: descale every 1 month
Use a descaling solution or a mix of equal parts vinegar and water, and always run clean water through the machine afterwards to rinse.

Don’t Forget Filters:
If your machine uses a charcoal water filter, replace it every 60 days or after 60 uses, whichever comes first.

Proper cleaning not only preserves the flavour and aroma of your coffee but also extends the lifespan of your machine and keeps your brew safe to drink.
