flag UK study finds coffee machines often dirtier than toilets, prompting urgent cleaning advice to prevent illness and maintain performance.

flag UK homeowners are urged to clean their coffee machines immediately, as a study reveals many are dirtier than toilet seats, with one in 20 never cleaned theirs and nearly one in six doing so less than monthly. flag Experts warn that warm, moist conditions foster bacteria, mould, and limescale buildup from coffee oils and hard water, risking illness—especially for vulnerable individuals—and degrading machine performance and coffee taste. flag Despite the average Brit drinking two coffees daily, many neglect cleaning due to lack of awareness, forgetfulness, or uncertainty about proper methods. flag A specialist recommends four simple steps: descaling, cleaning internal parts with tablets, wiping exteriors, and checking steam wands to maintain safety, taste, and longevity.
