Everyone knows that their coffee machine needs maintenance, if not, here’s a hint; it does.
While some coffee makers suggest running vinegar through your machine, and that will do, we use de-scaler.
The problem came after I cleaned this espresso machine. I had ran water through it, but apparently not enough.
My next latte had a burning, pickle juice kick. Causing me to spit out my drink immediately! Apparently, I hadn’t run enough water through it.
I ran another two full reservoirs, made my coffee again, but to no avail! Still, there was this acidic flavor.
Eventually, after another three reservoirs ran through this, it made a perfect latte!
The moral of the story is, if you are using de-scaler, make sure you run enough water through this otherwise you’ll have a nasty taste and wasted good beans!
