Cappuccino Machine
sam asked: I have returned to my cappuccino machine a few months later and found mold in the water reservoir and have gotten most of mold out but the very bottom. I have let it sit with soapy water and shook it and still had mold left. Can anyone help me? Having a heavy duty cappuccino machine keeps your favorite cappuccino coming. But cleaning it can be a hassle. Molds, particularly, are hard to get rid of especially in the hard-to-reach places.
One way for you to prevent mold formation in your brewer is to place it on a cool dry place. These organisms tend to form in moist and humid places. It also helps to dry your brewer completely and wipe excess moisture at the bottom to prevent these molds from developing.

However, if you start to see those gross green stuffs forming, it is time to do some major cleaning.
Cappuccino Machine Cleaning
Remove the detachable parts of your coffee maker such as the carafe, water reservoir, coffee filter and the like. Make sure no parts will come off when you tilt the machine. You can also clean these parts by soaking them in a basinful of water mixed with a cup of white vinegar so they start cleaning while you clean the body of the machine.
In another basin, mix half a cup of white vinegar with 4 cups of water. Get a soft-bristled brush. Tilt the machine ever so slightly just enough for you to scrape the molds off the bottom of the machine. Put vinegar solution on the bottom of the machine and leave it there for a few minutes.
After 30 minutes, tilt the machine again and scrape off the molds. They will easily come off now that you have used the vinegar solution. Once they are all gone, dampen a clean towel with clean water and wipe the bottom of the machine clean.
Since you are already on the process of cleaning your coffee maker, why not clean all parts? Wash the detached parts with soapy water before attaching them. In the water reservoir, fill it up with a part of white vinegar and four parts of water and then run an empty cycle. This should get rid of the molds inside the machine.
After doing so, run an empty water cycle this time to wash off the remnants of the vinegar. Let everything dry up completely.
Your cappuccino machine is now clean.
Congratulations! You just made it through the process of cleaning your cappuccino machine. Try to do this once a week so you can ensure that no molds are populating inside your machine. This way, you can keep it in top shape all the time and making a great coffee out of your cappuccino machine.
