HOW OFTEN DO YOU CLEAN YOUR COFFEE MAKER?
The right thing to do is to clean it after every use (drip machines) and deep clean both kinds every 3 months. “They” say it is best to leave the water tank empty when not using. Let’s face it – this is so not happening for most of us. So let’s just try and clean it every 3 months!

Why deep clean the coffee maker?
- descaling removes mineral deposits
- left uncleaned yeast, mold and bacteria will grow in the machines
- water will not reach it’s HIGHEST temperature if it is left uncleaned
- coffee will taste better
- a water filter helps to keep machines clean and descaling can happen less
- emptying the water reserve nightly also helps keep the machine clean
- descaling and vinegar work about the same
- descaling solution does not leave a NASTY taste in your mouth
- machine will last longer
HOW DO YOU CLEAN A DRIP MACHINE
