Who else is a coffee fiend? Well, actually, it&#8217;s not me, but I&#8217;m responsible for looking after the Nespresso coffee machine in our household. I descale it when it asks me to (read: I run hot water through it until the light stops being on) and I wash the various bits when they get too grimy. I also fill the reusable coffee pods \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I bought a stereo system from The Good Guys a while back, and I received a store credit after the debacle that was ordering my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/?p=591\">Gift Cards<\/a>. I looked through a whole range of cooking items for something that would fit with what I needed, but also something that was zero-waste friendly. In the end, I settled for this product because it came under the $20 credit value, and I wasn&#8217;t going to spend more than that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_647\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-647\" style=\"width: 214px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-01-at-4.52.42-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-647 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-01-at-4.52.42-PM.png?resize=214%2C332\" width=\"214\" height=\"332\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-647\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">DeLonghi Milk Clean &#8211; does what it says it does!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.delonghi.com\/en-au\/products\/coffee\/coffee-makers\/coffee-maker-accessories\/milk-clean\">DeLonghi Milk Clean 250ml<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By keeping your coffee machine in excellent condition, it will ensure the quality of the coffee is always at it&#8217;s very best, as well as extend the life of your coffee machines.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Milk cleaner &#8211; for all milk frother nozzles and instant frothing device systems (IFD System).<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Simple and lasting cleaning.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Protects sensitive material keeping it cleaner for longer.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>250 ml pack size.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Did this product live up to the hype? Well, I was hoping that it would clean the horrible, impossible to get out milk scum inside the milk sucker. Before this, I&#8217;d tried running hot water through it, soapy hot water, vinegar in hot water and letting it soak for a full 24 hours to no avail.<\/p>\n<p>This product did as it said! Yay! I soaked the milk sucker for a couple of hours, then ran the product through. It asks you to dilute the solution a little, and I roughly eye-measured it. After soaking, it appeared that it was ever-so-slightly cleaner. Then after I ran it through once, then let it soak again, I would have said it was 85% clean. Then, I ran it through one final time, and it was 100% clean. No more stinky milk sucker!<\/p>\n<p>This product saved me from buying a whole new milk sucker, and made me happy. It&#8217;s going to last a while, and I&#8217;d consider repurchasing it in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there! Who else is a coffee fiend?
