    Vinegar first to swish around and a little rub and then clear water. Perfection. Margagain from Regina.

    Here are some posts on cleaning coffee maker. Good luck.


    Turn off the machine, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then, turn the coffee maker back on, finish the brewing and dump the full pot of vinegar and water. Rinse everything out by putting in a new paper filter and brewing a full pot of clean water. Repeat once.

    Wash with vinegar and baking soda. Make a paste & scrub gently. Rinse well when finished. Run vinegar thru the drip cycle to clean old calcium deposits as well, then run water thru twice to rinse.
