Instructions on How to Clean a Coffee Machine

You are wondering how to clean a coffee maker, but consider re-purchasing instead – manual labor is for the Trojans. Just kidding – it’s better and more satisfying to clean expensive equipment and that’s why we wrote this article for you. If you decide against this once further and return to your original stance of maintenance of the thing by YOU, here is a method in accord with nature. Indeed, the only two ingredients are vinegar and water!

Step 1: Equal parts of both of these should fill a pot or another container available. To reduce the solution’s strength, minimise the vinegar content. Place a half vinegar, half water solution into a pot.

Step 2: Return the coffee filter into the coffee maker, where it belongs, so to speak. Coffee filters goes IN the coffee maker.

Step 3: Place the mixture you have created into the coffee maker, much like you would the brew. Pour the mix in!

Step 4: Let electricity awake the savage weapon that you have come to so dearly love. On switch, things happen. The coffee machine is now alive, but instead of making coffee, it’s cleaning the machine.

Step 5: Throw the coffee maker’s machine into the bin, as you won’t need it again. It’s fully of disgusting vinegar and water mixture, together with old congealed coffee stuff.

Step 6: Let the machine cool down for about 20 minutes, ready for the next step. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, ding.

Step 7: Put the coffee pot under running cold water to rinse it thoroughly. The coffee pot will require a cold water rinse to clean it, but be careful not to use soap or detergent, as these can ruin your apparatus. Furthermore, keep the stream cool, as hot water may crack the glass. With these avoided and cold water preferred, you will be assured of a stain-free finish. Rinse the pot with cold H20.

Step 8: Do steps 2 – 8 over and over again until you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your coffee machine. Usually it only takes about 2 repeats for the smell of vinegar and stale caffeine to disappear and when you can’t smell these anymore that’s a good sign that your job is done. Of course if you can’t get to that point, consider purchasing some coffee machine cleaning products. Only use water this time too – don’t use vinegar again.
