I am using Cuisinart coffee maker parts as an example, because I owned a cuisinart DGB-600 and even after a year of using, it is still in great condition. So, I thought this would sort of give me some authority to share how to best maintained a coffee machine.
The fact is, if you look at Cuisinart DGB-600, you would probably think that this coffee machine would probably need some replacement parts in 3-6 months time. The reason being the filmsy nature of its parts and the many parts that it is having.
Mr. Coffee Coffee Makers
Now, the very first thing about maintenance of coffee machine is the location where you keep them. As most of these coffee brewers are armed with numerous electronic parts, exposing them to extreme temperature would lead to frequent breakdowns.
Placing your coffee maker too near to stove or windows is not a good idea. The heat from your cooking or the temperature outside your house would have an adverse effect on your machine.
Of course, kitchen counter top is the best place to put your brewer, that is where I put mine, and if I did not even spent a penny getting Cuisinart coffee maker parts after a year, I must be doing something right, don't you think so?
Next, would be the cleaning and maintenance of your machine. Although, it is difficult to keep to it, if you really want a long lasting machine, clean it after every use. Even if this meant cleaning it twice a day if you are using it 2 times a day.
Residual oil, after a while would turn rancid and this would eats into your coffee maker parts. Thus, rather than leaving it to chance, washing and cleaning it after every use is the best prevention from this happening.
If you are familiar with Cuisinart DGB-600, then you would know that it is alot of work to be cleaning this unit. So, if you think your Bunn or Mr coffee is difficult to wash, once you see mine, then there should be no complain, right?
Cleaning is an element that help me to maintain my coffee brewer and it got me some savings. In fact, regular washing would also ensure that your coffee is of good quality.
The last pointer is the frequency of your usage. If you are brewing half capacity 3 times a day, I would suggest to cut it to 2 or even 1 time if possible. This is because, the frequent usage would wear the parts faster.
Moreover, if you are brewing as and when required and the capacity is not full, you are also wasting electricity and effort. If you are not able to reach full capacity, then you should seriously consider a single serve coffee maker.
Getting a coffee maker that suits your lifestyle is the most important. Therefore, if you have chose a correct brewer, for my case a DGB-600, I only need to brew it once a day. And because it comes with thermal feature, I am able to have hot and fresh coffee for many hours with just one brew.
There you have it folks, some ideas to prolong the life span of your coffee machine and save some money in the process...
