Understanding the components and basics of hotel coffee makers

• The components of hotel coffee makers are the water reservoir, filter basket, heating element, and carafe.

• Filling the water reservoir with cold water enhances flavor and prevents impurities.

• Placing coffee grounds correctly in the filter basket prevents grounds from escaping into the brew.

• If your mini coffee maker uses pods, remember to place them correctly also.

• The heating element heats the water, which then drips through the coffee grounds into the carafe.

• Knowing the basics ensures a great cup of coffee without any hassle.

Essential steps for brewing coffee in hotel coffee makers

• Using bottled water to fill the coffee maker's tank to ensure taste and health are not compromised.

• Always check the water reservoir and triple rinse it with clean water as you do not know what previous guests have done.

• Selecting the right coffee cup and pressing the corresponding button for the desired cup size ensures the coffee does not overflow.

• Make sure a new filter is in place if the machine uses drip coffee technology and check these are clean.
