What is a good way to clean a coffee pot/maker?
Measure 2 to 3 cups of vinegar and set aside. Wash coffee pot thoroughly. Fill up your coffee pot with hot water. (I.e. fill it with water minus the 2-3 cups of vinegar that you will use) Turn on the coffee pot and add the hot water as you normally would to make coffee. Then add in the vinegar and let it run through the coffee making cycle. Let the cycle finish and repeat if necessary. When done you will notice that most of the stains if not all have been completely washed away. Make sure that after you have cleaned it using the vinegar that you wash your coffee pot thoroughly and repeat the coffee making process with plain water. Enjoy!
Fill your entire water reserve with white vinegar. When half has been pulled thru the coffee maker, turn off and let it sit for 30 minutes. After waiting, turn on again and let the vinegar finish being pulled through. Then you need to clean the vinegar out of your reservoir by putting at least 3 full waters (fill water reservoir 3 times, you also need to use a clean filter each time, it also helps you keep track of how many you’ve done thus far) through to clean. Then finally clean all your removable parts…coffee pot and the basket where the coffee goes…preferably in the dishwasher which will get it cleaner than hand washing. Good luck!!
