Coffee Maker Maintenance

How do you clean your coffee maker? In order to be able to keep making good coffee, do this every month:

1. In case you have a built-in filter, take it out.
2. Fill your carafe with water and add two tablespoons of vinegar.
3. Pour the mixture of water and vinegar into the coffee maker and turn on the coffee maker.
4. Let it brew halfway through the brewing cycle and stop the machine for about 15 minutes. Resume the brewing process and let the brewing finish.
5. Now, rinse the carafe out and brew plain water through the system - twice. Rinse out the carafe, and you're now all done!
