How do you clean your coffee maker?

Not the day to day cleaning, I am curious about how you do the every once in awhile deep clean. 

I have this coffee maker:

Re: How do you clean your coffee maker?

  • Run a vinegar solution through it to clean out the inner working parts and soak your  pot and grounds tray in vinegar solution to remove all of the coffee stains and etc. . once you're satisfied that it's clean run just plain water through a few times to remove all the vinegar residue. . .

     Works wonders on removing coffee and tea stains! (often times lime build up from tap water too) :o)

     

  • I have the same coffee pot and I run vinegar through it every other month or so...I also put it on the edge of the sink and use the sprayer attachment on my faucet to run water through. It's a pain to clean, but it makes great coffee! :)

  • Ditto the vinegar.  In addition, for a sparkling clean carafe, I put a few ice cubes, 2 Tbsp salt, & 2 Tbsp lemon juice in the carafe.  Then I vigorously swirl the ice/salt/juice in the carafe for a full minute (sometimes longer, as needed).

    This exactly.  We do ours about every 3 months or so.

  • Thanks for all of the info - I am long overdue for a good cleaning!

  • I usually run vinegar twice and then just water a few times!
