Keep Your Coffee Maker Happy

There's nothing like starting or ending your day with a freshly brewed cup of coffee. The aroma of ground beans wafting through the house in the morning or enjoying a homemade cappuccino on the couch after dinner. For many, coffee is an essential part of life, so it's important to regularly clean your coffee machine. More advanced or high-end coffee makers especially need extra care now and then to perform optimally. While Dutch tap water is naturally clean and good for drinking, it does contain lime, which can be problematic for your coffee machine. Over time, this lime can build up on the heating elements, pipes, and filters. This buildup makes it harder for the machine to reach the right temperature and increases the risk of blockages. It's therefore crucial to descale your coffee machine about every 2 months, using a dedicated descaling agent that you can easily add to your order. These are available in liquid or tablet form, both effective for keeping your machine lime-free. The lime deposits will be removed, and after rinsing, no residue will remain. You might have heard the tip to use vinegar for cleaning; this is fine for some drip coffee makers but can damage other machines! Besides lime, your machine also gets dirty from coffee residues and oils. To tackle this, a cleaning agent is necessary. Once a month should be enough to keep it fresh. Adding a descaling and cleaning agent to your order is a small effort to keep your coffee maker clean and happy! This not only ensures the best coffee taste but also significantly extends your machine's lifespan. Want to show extra love to your coffee maker? Give it a nice wash on the outside too; many parts can be easily removed for cleaning and then polished with a soft cloth.

Enhance Your Tea Experience

Maybe you're not a coffee person, or you enjoy a cup of tea in the afternoon. There's nothing cozier than a teapot on the table, surrounded by cups, perfect for a chat! To truly make it an experience, pay a little extra attention to your cup of tea. Beautiful teapots are available that keep your tea warm for longer, or lovely double-walled tea glasses to warm your hands on cold winter days. If you prefer tea without a pot and brew it by the cup with a tea bag, it's delightful to have a decorative saucer to lay the used bag on. So, turn your cup of tea into a special moment for yourself or with friends by choosing accessories that enhance the experience.

Beer Tastes Best in a Nice Glass

Enjoying a beer can be a delightful, relaxing part of the day, whether in the sunshine, at a barbecue, or after a long day's work. While many like to drink directly from the bottle, using nice beer glasses can really enhance the experience, especially for craft beers! If you've received a beer set as a gift or plan to give one, consider adding some stylish beer glasses. Many people don't invest in this themselves, making it an even more pleasant surprise! Picture a sunlit table in the summer, filled with craft beers and matching glasses—a perfect setting to celebrate special moments, toast to festive occasions, or treat yourself after a victory or promotion. Celebrate with exquisite beer glasses!
