Mould in the coffee machine: how to find it, remove it and avoid it
Not just moka pots: more and more people also have automatic coffee machines, pod machines or American coffee machines in their homes. If you are one of them, remember that constant maintenance is essential to avoid the formation of mould. What to do if you find it and how to prevent it from appearing? Here is everything you need to know.
For us Italians, coffee is a sacred ritual, especially if prepared with the moka pot. But the presence of other tools for preparing coffee is becoming more and more widespread in homes, for example using new appliances such as the automatic coffee machine, the pod machine or the American coffee machine.
These are tools that certainly make your life easier but you need to pay a certain amount of attention to them because, if you don’t take care of them, they can become a threat to your health. Why? Because of the presence of mould, which often forms in hidden corners of the machine.
Nothing unusual, because mold always develops naturally in humid and warm places, but it is good to learn where it could nest. We explain where you need to check, how to clean your machine in case of mold and what to do in terms of maintenance to avoid its formation.

Why mold forms and where it nests
As we mentioned, mold tends to develop naturally in very humid and very warm places: for this reason the electric coffee machine is the ideal place for it to appear. The high temperatures needed to prepare the coffee, combined with the water that stagnates between the gears, favor the formation of mold not only in the visible points of the appliance, but above all in the most hidden points.
