It's possible that the floaties are cause by mineral deposits, not to mention that filtered water makes better tasting coffee.At the end of his first year at the architecture school of the Royal Danish Academy, Pavels Hedström went on a class trip to Japan. Last issue and a very important one: use bottled water or get a Britta or Everpur or some other filter systen for your tap or for a pitcher.
#COFFEE CUP WEB FORM BUILDER FORUM FULL#
When you try to brew a full pot the brew cycle takes too long and quality is affected. I have a 12 cup Proctor-Silex and it makes great coffee if you make the brew in six cup batches. Just run a pot full of cheap generic white veinegar through on the brew cycel and then four of five pots of water after that to flush it.
The coffee maker itself should require cleaning no more often than once a month or so. Just clean it throughly once a week or so with dish detergent and a plastic scrubbie like a Dobie. The glass carafe that the coffee brews into won't get too mucked up when you're only brewing into it and not leaving it on the warming plate. The cthermal carafe should be throughly rinsed with hot water when the coffee is gone and once a week or once a month out hot, hot water and baking soda in it to completely remove the coffee oils (rinse thoroughly when done). You'll be amazed at how much better that second, third and beyond cup tastes 20 - 30 minutes later when you take this simple step. Pour the coffee off into it immediately when the brewing cycle completes. preheat it with hot tap water while your coffee is brewing. I suspect that they're coming off into your cup as the coffee cools down and then being released into the cup where they become those lovable floatie scum thingies.įirst suggestion: go to Walmart or target ro some such place and get a cheap (i.e. The glass carafes easily build up a layer of coffee oils that turn into a thin film of solid with heat. If your coffee mugs look clean on the inside then they are clean (or clean enough). Soiunds like build up in the glass carafe to me. Sorry for the long post, but I am really sick of the phantom scum.

Or is it something totally unrelated, like I don't know how to wash my coffee mugs correctly? My boyfriend doesn't get the scum when he takes the coffee to work in the carafe, and I have noticed that when we run out of good beans and have to buy something shitty to last a few days we don't get the scum either. Is it because of the continued heat applied to the coffee? Or is it this particular coffee? The first time I noticed it, I cleaned the coffee maker, and I have cleaned it regularly since, but the scum doesn't go away. After a while, the scum will start to break up into little floaties which disperse themselves throughout the cup. If I stick my finger in the cup, the scum doesn't separate, it just moves off to one side to make room for my finger. It does not affect the taste of the coffee (I am heathen, and don't mind slightly "burned" coffee flavor). Now, I usually put on about 4 or 5 cups of coffee and drink them over a period of an hour or so while looking at eGullet My boyfriend, who gets up early for his 1st shift job, makes a whole pot and takes it to the newspaper with him in a big carafe to share with the people who work there.īy the time I have reached my 3rd or 4th cup, I have a weird SCUM floating on my coffee. We grind our own coffee that's roasted weekly for us by a friend of ours. He just bought it last year and we use it pretty much every day. It is nothing special but it gets the job done. I live with my boyfriend and he has a regular 12-cup Proctor-Silex coffeemaker, the kind you have to put a filter in.
Hi everyone! I have been having a problem with my at-home coffee for a while now and I figured you could put it to rest.
