This should work. If it doesn’t I’d take it back.
I run white vinegar through my coffee pot every now and then anyways.

This and it is more noticeable if you are grinding your own beans(fresher).

DDT or paraquat on the beans.

Columbians piss on the beans for American consumption.

Does built up old coffee crud absorb oil?
Maybe, idk

It’s possible that some of the coffee maker components could have some kind of residue on them from the manufacturing process. Also, mineral deposits can collect from using water from some sources, Using the vinegar periodically will help with removing that.
First try a completely different coffee. Also check and see if this machine puts out hotter water than the old one. If it were me and I knew I had the machine clean and used good water I would just drink it if it tastes good.
I’d pour some oil in it and see if it has the same sheen.
i'll make another pot and post pictures later on.
A first world problem.

I would not drink an espresso unless it had
oil on the surface in the form of crema.

You say that like it is a bad thing.
Hard water separates the oil

Try bottled water and see if it disappears. We get scum here I’d tap water is used. Edk
Add Coconut oil.
It actually tastes good.

You are 'worried' about coffee oil?

You do realize many millions of coffee drinkers
want the oil on the surface of their coffee?

I was raised in an Italian culture environment
and oil atop black coffee was never seen as
unusual....so I will leave the google education
process to folks like you.
It was like that at work, tasted funny. They put a camera in there, guy way putting baby oil in the coffee. He is no longer there!
Your problem is undoubtedly due to the fact that the machine was made in chiner.
Wake you up, lube you up

I worked at sbux when I was younger, they had a packet of cleaner that we'd run through a cycle every night. I used them on the 2 new coffee makers I've had since then. Similar products exist online. Its cleaner in a filter, like a tea bag... you just put it in where the grounds go and run a cycle.
PD, run a pot full of half water and half white vinegar thru the machine. Run it thru a coffee filter so it will get all over the inside of the basket. Then run a pot of water thru. The vinegar should cut the oil. This process is recommended by several coffee machine makers.
Vinegar treatment is for descaling
How would it cut the coffee oil in a
new machine?
Add a little salt to the coffee before you perk it. Tastes better too.

Yep, just rinse an older coffee pot and there will be a thin film of oil from the coffee itself on the surface.

Does coffee count as an essential oil?
