Describe the meaning, usage and care of a coffee maker

-Coffee makers are normally electric
and may be of different types. The automatic twin coffee urn and the automatic coffee maker are the types used most often in general.

Operation and Care of an Automatic Coffee Maker

-The automatic coffee maker is designed to brew fresh coffee under strict, sanitary conditions. Each coffee maker is made in units, and each unit may contain four or five burners set in a single or double deck. The coffee maker has the ON/OFF switches and the head control switches on the front.
-Glass or metal bowl containers are supplied for the actual brewing of the coffee. Automatic coffee makers let you pour fresh water into a reservoir at the top of the device to obtain the same amount of hot coffee. In others, water is brought to a boil before brewing a batch of coffee.
-In using an automatic coffee maker, there are two phases in making coffee, preheating and brewing.
The preheating phase consists of the following steps.
· Slide the brewing chamber under the spray head and place an empty decanter under it.
· Then open the top cover and
pour two decanters of cold water in the reservoir.
· Replace cover.
· Make sure to plug into electric outlet of
the correct voltage (specified on the nameplate of device). It should be noted that the two decanters of cold
water should be poured in before connecting the plug.
· Preheat time is usually 18 minutes, and a signal light will turn on when the water reaches the proper brewing temperature.
Brewing good coffee requires skill, technique, and
the experience of the skilled foodservice specialist. To properly brew coffee, remove the brewing chamber and place one paper filter in it. Add required amount of the recommended coffee grind. Check to be sure the coffee is evenly leveled before replacing brewing chamber.
· After the preheating phase, add a decanter of cold water to the reservoir. Coffee will immediately start to brew and flow into the decanter under the brewing chamber. When the flow stops, you are ready to serve.

Care

-The simple care of your equipment makes an important contribution to the excellence of your coffee service and efficient use of energy.
All parts of the brewer that come into contact with the coffee and coffee vapor should be kept immaculately clean. Decanters, for example, should be thoroughly cleansed and rinsed free of detergent after each use.
Spray heads should be checked regularly for traces of
lime or other deposits in or around the holes. It is important to keep them clean. Paper filters should never be reused as they can pick up odors from other foods. Discard after each brewing process.
Be careful where you store them. Cloth filters should be
rinsed after each brew and stored overnight in a vessel of fresh cold water. Replace cloth filters often to ensure good-tasting coffee. A
simple sniff test should tell you when it is time to change. New cloth filters should be cleaned and rinsed in very hot water to remove sizing (starch) and cloth odors. Do not use soap, bleaches, or detergents since they transfer flavors. If you
brew in sealed filter bags with a stainless steel filter screen, rinse out the holding cartridge and screen daily.
Once a week soak the screen overnight in a solution of urn cleaner and rinse thoroughly before reusing.
