Home Cleaning Your Coffee Maker With Vinegar

Is your coffee tasting bitter and flat? If you have noticed a significant difference in your freshly brewed cup of Joe, then it may be time for your home coffee maker to have a cleaning!

Lucky for you, the easy way to do this is to run white vinegar through your coffee maker in the brew cycle. This cleaning is necessary to do every two months because it works to remove the essential oil buildup and mineral buildup in the coffee machine. The essential oils come from the freshly ground coffee beans, and the mineral deposits come from the minerals within tap water. It is ideal to use filtered water to brew your coffee, but it is still necessary to clean it for maintenance.

Run a solution through your coffee maker of three parts water and one part white vinegar. You can do this several times, and then brew again with plain water to remove the vinegar taste. Viola! Life is good again.
