The topic of mold in electric coffee machines was the subject of an investigation conducted by the American broadcaster CBS. The experiment conducted highlighted the most common points where the appliance develops mold, which are the housing of the capsule or pod (or the filter container in the case of the American coffee machine), the spout where the coffee flows and the container where you insert the water.
How to understand if mold is developing? You just need to get a cotton swab and pass it over the sensitive points (those indicated by the research, but also other more hidden and invisible to the naked eye): if you notice greenish traces it means that the mold formation process is starting and that it is necessary to intervene. In fact, prolonged exposure to mold can cause respiratory diseases and allergies, or exacerbate the symptoms of already existing diseases of this type.
