ABrooks Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 We recently got a new coffee machine, a Philips grind and brew. The problem now is that the coffee smells and taste like plastic, especially if we make use of the timer function. What can I do to remove te taste and smell from the machine?

Trance Dance Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 So while out on my bike yesterday I was thinking about my pre-ride coffee. First cup was made using a 6 cup induction moka pot and the second was made using a 3 cup standard aluminium moka. Definitely find I prefer the stainless steel induction one, although the other one is also good. Got me thinking, does anyone else have a preferred moka pot? Also, how do you make yours?

I ran a few cleaning cycles with diluted vinegar as per the manual. It didn't really make a difference. I ended up sending the machine back today due to the plastic taste. We had an old kettle that would give off the same plastic taste 1 out of 5 times of use, so I am not taking any chances on this. I am also a bit disappointed in the grinder, while the grind volume seems to be consistent, the finest setting is not fine enough in my opinion. I would have preferred to have the option of going finer to experiment with.  For the next machine we will go with a separate standalone grinder (burr-grinder off course).

Also, how do you make yours? I have aluminium moka pot. I make americano with this along with hairo grinder (manual) It's a double espresso pot.Cant compare to Stainless as I don't have one. Perhaps I'll spoil myself with a Stainless Steel pot in the near future. the nerd 1

NateChat Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 My go to is the Gs3, failing that it's Chemex or Hario , occasionally Turkish, the Aeropress is still at work and just left there since beginning of Lockdown. the nerd 1
