Cleaning Coffee Maker In Ten Minutes

Cleaning Coffee Maker In Ten Minutes - This method can be used for any type of filter coffee maker and includes the cleaning of the outside and milk utensils.

You should try and clean your coffee maker around once a month using this method to give it a thorough clean.

Cleaning the filter and coffe pot

Using a mixture of 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water is the best way to clean a drip coffee maker. Mix a full pot of the vinegar and water mixture, pour it in your water reservoir and turn the coffee maker on.

Once the mixture has run completely through, it's important to turn the drip coffee maker off and let it cool for 15 to 20 minutes.

Pour the vinegar and water mixture down the drain. If you are cleaning a coffee maker that hasn't been cleaned regularly, repeat this step again with a fresh vinegar and water mixture.

Next, rinse the pot out thoroughly with warm, plain water. Then, fill the water reservoir again with clean water and turn the coffee maker on to start the rinsing process.

Cleaning the outside and Milk Utensils

Mix 1 part vinegar with 3 parts warm water and 1 part lemon juice. Using a soft tooth brush the mix onto the milk utensils and into any nooks and crannies on the machine that dirt can get into. You may need to brush some areas more vigourously than others to remove any dirt or residue.

Rinse with warm water until clean.
