Every time you add water filter dry filter clean, can not hit the water, not to mention the barrel bucket with slag in the bean paste squeezed into the pot. At the same time, we should always check whether there are cracks in the cylinder wicker, in order to prevent the dregs of beans leaking into the raw paddle.
