How to Achieve a Clean Coffee Maker with Vinegar

Cleaning your coffee maker with vinegar is not much different than the process you use to make coffee. Here is what you will need to do:

1. Fill a pitcher with a mixture of two parts water to one part vinegar.
2. Stir the mixture with a plastic spoon to make it fairly uniform.
3. Pour it into the coffee maker’s reservoir up to the top fill line.
4. Set your coffee maker to brew a full pot, as normal.
5. Once the vinegar and water mixture has cycled through, turn off the machine and let it cool.
6. Pour out the contents of the coffee pot.
7. Run the coffee maker through a second cycle after filling it with water only to rinse out the vinegar residue.

If you notice that your coffee maker still smells strongly of vinegar you can run water through it a second time. You do not have to wait for it to cool down beforehand.
