FAQ About Coffee Brewing

Cleaning your coffee maker regularly is important for maintaining the quality of your coffee and ensuring that your machine lasts as long as possible. Here are some general steps to follow when cleaning your coffee maker:

Empty the carafe: Dump out any remaining coffee or water from the carafe and discard the used coffee filter or pod.

Wash the carafe and filter basket: Wash the carafe and filter basket with warm, soapy water, and rinse them thoroughly.

Clean the coffee maker: Fill the water reservoir with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Run the coffee maker through a normal brew cycle, allowing the vinegar solution to run through the machine. Discard the vinegar solution once the brew cycle is complete.

Rinse the coffee maker: Fill the water reservoir with clean water and run another brew cycle to rinse out the machine.

Wipe down the exterior: Wipe down the exterior of the coffee maker with a damp cloth to remove any coffee stains or residue.

Repeat as needed: Depending on how frequently you use your coffee maker, you may need to clean it more or less often. A good rule of thumb is to clean it at least once a month.
