These cheap coffee makers are awesome. I don’t know why people waste money on keurigs. Even if you want just one cup of coffee you can brew it right there in the same cheap coffee maker

Absolutely....coffe is better too!

I brought pure premium coffee from Costa Rica to my coworkers and this was the procedure I had to make to the coffe maker at the brake room in order to make sure they could enjoy the flavor, they loved it.

Great instructions. The only mod was i used a clean filter to catch the junk to feel better about reusing the water

Thanks cuz I have to show my caretaker how to do this my late husband used to do this for me so I'm so thankful for this 👌🏾Rachel

Just cleaned mine. Basically the same as I did it once before, but your method is really simple. I love it! I subscribed to your KZread. Thanks!

thank you! I have the same exact coffee maker, and this was a big help!

Going to clean mine right now. My husband had to go buy coffee this morning before work. I was able to half of cup if coffee for my self, he told he's uncle use to do what you are doing. Thank you.

My dad taught me this a long time ago. It truly works great and makes a big difference in speed plus taste.

Thank you, just did this to my espresso machine, only I used a 25% vinegar solution because it was all the vinegar I had left, but still worked fine 🙂

thank you very much for the information. great video! right to the point.

Thanks man you saved my life. Well I at least get 20 minutes back by not waiting for my coffee every morning

Thanx for the vid. I wouldn't run the same dirty vinegar water twice, a new batch of the cleaning solution would be way better.

I can agree, but I think once it gets opened back up with the vinegar that everything is going through and nothing is getting stuck. So it is irrelevant if the water is clean or not as the vinegar keeps working every time. That coloration or dirty water is a combination of coffee stain and water minerals and it is what we are drinking in the water and in the coffee and builds up little by little from the heat and evaporation. After a while the water deposits block the water from getting through as fast and that is what the vinegar is for. I have since replaced my coffee maker as this one was a $30 coffee maker and I had it about 10 years or more. No matter what, any coffee maker I have will eventually take forever and I will have to clean it with this method. If you want to change the water every time I think you should do that. I usually run the vinegar 3 or more times and then start flushing with just clean water.

Simple and to the point...great video! ☕🙂👍

I believe once it has rusted it won't clean up like new. It can be sanded down and wiped clean, but I think will always be rusty.

I used to run four cups of fresh water after every coffee run but it never did anything. No wonder coffee tasted horrible. Told my co worker to clean the inside I was done scrubbing lol. How do you get the gunk off the bottom?

Hi

And how about the Real hard Paart? Cleaning the Warming Plate with all that Burned On Coffee Drippings? DO oyu Soften it up with Vinegar and then Scrape if off with a Reg. Dinner Knife? or what? Tried Baking Soda and still had to scrape it off ..

@ProjectBolony

I didn't usually clean that part except to sweep off the loose particles. It is mostly rust as far as I can tell. You might try some light sand paper and let it dry out. Not real sure about this part. I would expect it is a hot plate so that may help the research.

Selna Goodhead for me the paint has come off the warming plate so half of it is rust. I use a Magic eraser for my warming plate. Since its rust I can only do so much. If your warming plate is stainless steel, I would use a non gel regular toothpaste. I find that works best for chrome, and stainless steel. Just rub the paste on dry with your finger and then wipe away with a damp cloth. The grit found in the toothpadte should be enough.

As long as you rinse it a few times you can drink right away. I don't think the vinegar residue will hurt you, but it sure doesn't taste that good.

I have a similar Mr.Coffee machine and unfortunately, a lemon seed got stuck which drastically slowed it down. Will this method remove the seed?

I doubt it. I would think the seed would have to be dug out or poked through somehow. If the water is going through, it might be worth a try though.

I used air pressure to blow it out and was successful. Air compressor with a blow tool. Once the hard water deposits get in where you can't access there is not much you can do.

Will the vinegar completely disinfect the coffee maker internally? I have a roach infestation in my apartment and I found one inside my coffee maker water tank.

@ProjectBolony

5 жыл бұрын

Vinegar is a mild acid. Although I would recommend replacement in your case, I think that you first might need to rectify the problem. In my experience, roaches are after 3 things, food, water, and shelter. This may be the reason you found one in the water reservoir. Especially, if you have been eliminating those 3 things. I would think that a little bit stronger vinegar solution than 50/50 would be called for, but still would not use straight vinegar. I think wiping what you can and then running as many solutions as you can stand through it would be not enough, but you will probably survive. Good Luck.

You should use an empty filter

Always use DISTILLED WATER!!

Vinegar is the best.

You can probably do it as often as you need to. When you notice that the coffee takes a long time to finish, then it's time to do it.

If your coffee maker is really blocked up... I recommend not using as much vinegar. I used a lot & my coffee maker broke from the pressure created from the junk coming loose (I'm assuming)

Can i put clorox instead of vinegar?

@ProjectBolony

No I wouldn't. I am sure it would not hurt to put a little bit if you mix like a 10 to 1 ratio. The vinegar is a mild acid that breaks down the minerals that block the small holes. You are not disinfecting, you are just opening the holes so it will make coffee faster.

Why not only use DISTILLED water in your coffee maker? Distilled water does not produce scale and so the coffee maker never needs to be cleaned. I've been using my coffee maker for years and its in perfect condition.
