how to wash a gi

You have just bought that brand new, fancy espresso machine that makes the perfect flat white every time. You carefully packed all of its accessories, including the espresso machine proper, the milk container and the espresso machine mug. You also acquired the genuine Italian leather handbag belonging to the barista. You know, the kind with the brass knuckle buckles that the barista is most likely to keep close to her heart? Well, that’s what you’re looking at.

Now, you want to make sure that everything is properly cleaned before use. Here’s the rub: You don’t want to use soap on any of the equipment due to the possibility of it scratching or otherwise damaging the surface. Instead, use the included linen cloth and water to gently wipe down all of the elements. Do not rub or use any abrasive materials on the surface, as this will scratch it further and make it appear worse than it truly is. After you’re finished, dry everything with a clean tea towel. If there’s any residue, then use a little bit of milk to wipe it away. You’re done!

All joking aside, this is a common issue among baristas. They’re very particular about their coffee machine and how it is used. One of the biggest issues is the milk container. If you ask most baristas to describe their worst nightmare, it would probably involve a faulty or dirty milk container. They don’t want to risk the milk spoiling before it even gets to the bottom of the cup. That’s why most espresso machines come with a built-in milk frother, which you don’t want to use either because it will probably end up sputtering all over the place, or worse, it could break, spraying hot milk all over your stomach.

Avoid Using Your Hands

If you have to touch anything during the process of making your espresso, then use your hands instead of the cloth provided by the espresso machine. If you use your hands, then make sure to protect your fingers from getting burnt by the heat of the coffee machine. When you get your coffee, it will be extremely hot and you may not be able to handle it without hurting yourself or the hot drink.

Use A Tumbler

A glass tumbler is perfect for keeping your coffee hot and fresh, while offering you a pleasant mouth-feel. Fill it up halfway with water, place the cup on top and then carefully pour the rest of the water in. This will help keep your coffee hot for longer, as well as quench your thirst while still enjoying the rich, creamy taste of a freshly ground espresso. It’s the best of both worlds!

Avoid Using Cream

If you add cream to your coffee, it will almost certainly end up being overcooked. You don’t want your cream to curdle or separate from the coffee as it cooks, causing you to spill either one.

Know How To Properly Clean Your Equipment

When preparing food in a professional kitchen, you have to be careful about how you clean the tools and appliances. This is especially important when dealing with espresso machines and other large, unwieldy items. Always use clean, dry items for cleaning your espresso equipment. This means either using a clean cloth or an already dry sponge to wipe everything down. If you use a cloth, make sure to use a non-scratch one, and clean all surfaces before proceeding. If you use a sponge, wet it first and then use it to clean the equipment. Cleaning your espresso machine with a sponge will help prevent scratches which in turn will mean a shorter lifespan for your expensive piece of kit.

Treat Your Coffee The Right Way

Make sure to take the time to drink your coffee fresh. It will taste much better if you make it yourself as soon as possible after it is made. If you buy freshly made espresso in a café, then make sure to ask for it to be served immediately, as opposed to sitting there for a few minutes before serving. The coffee will taste better and remain at its optimum drinkability if you make it yourself as soon as possible after buying it in the café. If you buy a bag containing already made espresso, then make sure to drink it immediately. If you buy a cup of coffee from a café, then make sure to drink it while it is still hot. As a general rule, people who buy their coffee from cafés usually go back for seconds and sometimes even thirds simply because it is so good!

Use A Timer

Set a timer for your espresso machine so that it automatically grinds the coffee for you as soon as you sit down. This will save you the effort of pressing the button on the espresso machine, and potentially, burn yourself. If you buy a coffee machine with a built-in timer, then set the timer so that the espresso machine grinds the coffee after you have been in the bathroom for a certain amount of time. This will ensure that your freshly made coffee is piping hot when you return to the table. If you forget to set the timer and/or it goes off early, then your coffee may be cold by the time you drink it. In this case, you either have to make it again or buy it reheated from a café.

These are some pretty important tips for washing your espresso machine. If you want to keep the taste of freshly ground coffee, then make sure to wash your food machine regularly and clean all its inner components thoroughly. This ensures that your coffee tastes as good as new each time you make it. If you keep all of these tips in mind and use clean, dry items for cleaning, then you will be able to avoid many, if not all, of the issues that plague most espresso machine owners.
