How To Clean A Coffee Maker

It is one thing to buy a coffee maker. The challenging part is maintaining it. This chore not only involves replacing the old filter with a new one because there are other things that need to be cleaned. Since drip coffee makers are the most basic and frequently purchased, here are some tips on how to keep it in good condition.

The first thing will be to unplug it from the socket. Once this is done, the different parts should be removed separately and cleaned piece by piece. For instance, the glass pot can be soaked in water and soap then left upside down until the all the contents inside have dried.

If some coffee has spilled to other parts of the appliance, you should unscrew it to take a better look so this can be cleaned properly.

Some people think that everything can be cleaned using a piece of dry cloth and some water. Unfortunately, if the deposits are hard to wash out, it is time to try something much stronger. Vinegar can be mixed with water and then you can try doing it again.

If the stain is still there, perhaps pouring in the vinegar until this is full and then turning on the machine can produce better results. The job isn’t done yet since the drip coffee maker should be allowed to cool for a few minutes so that the liquid contents can be drained.

The owner should then check it again and only repeat the process if there are still remnants that are still present.

Since vinegar leaves a certain scent, the best way to remove it is by substituting the contents this time with water. This should be done two or three more times making the coffee drip maker good as new.

The last thing to do will be to put the coffee machine together again. This isn’t so hard and after doing so, you should store this in a safe place like in the kitchen cabinet if it isn't needed.

The best way to avoid repeating the procedure a few times is by cleaning this appliance at least once a month. The process itself takes less than an hour if done properly so that coffee made still tastes the same when a new batch is produced in the morning or at any time during the day.
