From a trusty c-store location to the beloved local diner, the quality and taste of brewed coffee is essential to a great customer experience. A crucial element of delicious coffee is how often you clean your brewing equipment.
So... how often should you be cleaning it?
The answer.
No matter your volume, to ensure great taste and quality you should clean your coffee brewing equipment once per day.
What does daily cleaning do?
We’ve all grabbed a to-go cup only to end up with bitter, burnt coffee with grounds floating in it. Over the course of a day, coffee residues build up in brewing equipment and serving dispensers. These oils are the culprits that upset the intended coffee notes and leave you with a bitter, poor tasting product. It is vital to remove them daily to preserve quality and consistency. The buildup can also impact the brew basket filter, causing you to brew through old residues, or even develop clogs.
Why does my coffee taste burnt?
Coffee that is burnt (or just tastes that way) is immediately obvious to any coffee drinker. If unclean equipment sits on the burner for too long, the residues within will get scorched and give your coffee that burnt taste. This is the most common cause and can be solved easily with regular cleaning.
Even if your brewing equipment is clean, you should always be conscious of how long your coffee is sitting on the burner, as it will affect intended flavors.
Why daily cleaning is important.
If you’re an owner or operator, you know that a quality product will encourage repeat customers. Coffee is a high-margin item that can bring your customers back for another beverage AND meal. Customers are likely to go out of their way to find a desired beverage and may avoid going to a spot with poor tasting coffee. In the long run, failing to clean your equipment with an effective product will not only affect product quality, but the success of your business.
Daily cleaning also extends the life of your equipment, helping you avoid costly replacements.
