Coffee Hygiene

General Notes

Accommodation for Celiac Disease

Oat milk is our most popular alternative milk for coffee, but it contains gluten, unlike cow's or soy milk. Using the same milk jug or wand to steam oat and cow's milk will expose people with Celiac disease to small amounts of gluten that can cause extreme pain and damage to the intestines. To prevent this, we use the left-most steam wand for oat milk, and the right-most for gluten free milks. We also have two separately labeled milk jugs. Finally, there are two separate cloths for wiping the steam wands, one under each wand.

Please honor this system when making coffee, and explain it to customers if they ask. If you think you've made a mistake like using the wrong jug or wand, let the customer know (in case they have celiac disease), and thoroughly clean the jug or wand.

For this reason, it's important to never assume what kind of milk someone wants in their coffee.

Cleaning & Setup

End-of-day Cleaning

  1. For each grouphead:
    1. Remove the portafilter from the filter holder.
    2. Replace with the blank filter (on shelf below).
    3. Add a spoonfull of the cleaning product (on shelf below).
    4. Lock the filter holder into the group head.
    5. Pull water until the sound changes to be more muffled (~ 5 seconds).
    6. Remove the filter and rinse it out.
    7. Pull water through the group head, with no filter, for five seconds.
  2. Rinse all portafilters and milk jugs and run them through the sterilizer.
  3. Wipe both steam wands with a wet cloth and purge them for a couple seconds.
  4. Remove the drip tray cover and rinse it.
  5. Remove the drip tray (careful not to spill water through the hole), and rinse it.
  6. Replace both.
  7. Wipe the machine with a wet cloth, particularly on hidden surfaces around the steam wands and groupheads.
  8. Empty the bucket beneath the machine into the kitchen sink and rinse it. Make sure the plastic tubing is dangling inside the bucket when you put it back.
  9. Put cloths in the dirty basket in the kitchen.
  10. Purge leftover grounds from the grinder.
  11. Brush coffee grounds from all surfaces.
  12. Rinse the grinder tray, rubber mat, and tamper.

Daily Setup

  1. Get two clean cloths from the kitchen and tuck them under the machine under each steam wand.
  2. For each grouphead, pull a shot as you would normally, but dispose of the result. This is to remove any extra cleaning product trapped in the grouphead. Not sure if this is needed, but the cleaning product instructions say to.
  3. Done! Dial in and start serving coffee :)

Mozzarella

Ingredients

    4 litres| 1 gal milk: fresh, whole (3-4%)

    2 tbsp cooled, boiled water

    1 tsp salt

    2 tsp citric acid

    ½ tsp | 2.5ml calf rennet*

* You can also use vegetable or microbial rennet but check the instructions on the label of your particular rennet as it may be a different amount to add to 4 litres of milk.

Method​

1. Stir the citric acid into the milk for 30 seconds, then warm the milk in a bain-marie to 31°C (88°F) over 5 minutes.

2. Dissolve the rennet in 1 tbsp of cooled, boiled water, add to the milk and stir for 30 seconds, then warm the milk over 5 minutes until it reaches 41°C (106°F).

3. Remove from the heat and leave on the kitchen bench, covered with a sanitised cloth or pot lid for 20 minutes. The

curds and whey will separate over this time.

4. Drain the curds in a sanitised, cheesecloth-lined colander. Leave for 5 minutes until most of the whey has drained off.

5. Place the curds in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 1 minute or until it is just beginning to melt.

6. Put on sanitised protective rubber gloves. Take the bowl out of the microwave, squeeze the curds and tip off any whey until it stops dripping. Put back into the microwave for 20 seconds or so (it will depend on your microwave)

on high until it all melts together and looks like thick custard.

7. Remove from the microwave, sprinkle over the salt, and begin kneading the curd, folding it over and over.

Note: it will be very hot.

Use your hands or a sanitised wooden spoon to stretch it out, then roll it into a ball and repeat for 30 seconds to 1 minute until it is the consistency of chewed gum. The curd must be really hot while you do this or it will not stretch. If it gets cold, put it back in the microwave until it melts again (20 seconds or so).

8. Shape handfuls into balls and place into ice water to go cold. Once cold, remove from the water and store in a container in a little bit of sterilised water, or a 10% brine (370g plain salt to 4 litres of cooled (12°C) boiled water), or you can vacuum pack it. You can use this cheese immediately, or store it for up to 5 days.
What to do if you don’t have a microwave

There is a second option for finishing this cheese if you don’t have a microwave or don’t want to use one. When you get to Step 5, heat a pot of water to 80°C (176°F) and place spoonfuls of curd into the hot water. Wear rubber gloves, and repeat Steps 6-9.
