Cleaning your coffee maker is essential for maintaining its performance and ensuring your coffee tastes its best. Mineral buildup, especially from hard water, can clog the machine and affect the brewing process. Here's how to clean it:

• Descaling: Descaling removes mineral buildup. You can use a commercial descaling solution specifically designed for coffee makers, or a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Fill the water reservoir with the chosen solution and run a full brewing cycle.
• Rinsing: After descaling, rinse the coffee maker thoroughly by running several cycles with fresh, clean water to remove any residual descaling solution or vinegar.
• Cleaning the Carafe and Filter Basket: Wash the carafe and filter basket with warm, soapy water after each use. For stubborn stains in the carafe, try a paste of baking soda and water.
• Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe down the exterior of the coffee maker regularly with a damp cloth to remove any spills or dust.
• Frequency: How often you need to clean your coffee maker depends on your water hardness and usage. In general, descale every 1-3 months or as needed based on your water quality.
