Great coffee at home isn’t about spending more on the machine. It’s about how you look after it.
☕ Five things that make a real difference:
01 — Descale every 2–3 months. Limescale is the number one flavour killer, and it creeps up long before you taste it.
02 — Use filtered water. Coffee is 98% water, so it’s doing most of the work in your cup.
03 — Steam milk to 60–65°C. Past that it stops being sweet and starts being scalded.
04 — Store beans airtight and in the dark. Never the fridge. Grind just before you brew.
05 — Rinse the group and clean the milk system daily. Old residue is where bitterness comes from.
None of these cost anything. All of them are noticeable in the next cup.
Save this for the next time your coffee tastes a bit off
