Is It Necessary to Clean the Coffeemaker?

The answer is yes! In fact, there are important reasons why. First, it is a good spot for bacteria and mold to form. Recent studies have found that the coffeemaker’s pot has a higher germ count than other spots in the kitchen, or even the bathroom. Yeast, mold, and coliform bacteria could grow here. Second, over time, hard water minerals can build up in your machine’s inner parts, and you may notice that your coffee takes longer to drip. Third, oily residue from brewing, along with hard-water deposits and other impurities, build up in coffeemakers over time. The result: your coffee can end up with an unpleasant flavor. Therefore, you need to cleanse and “decalcify” the machine.

Even though you probably thought that your coffeemaker didn’t need to be cleaned, now you know that it can be one of the germiest spots in your kitchen.

Here Are Some Cleaning TipsCleaning a coffee maker

A monthly cleaning will help ensure a great-tasting cup of coffee.

Each time you use it:

First of all, it is best to wash the removable parts of your coffeemaker after every use to remove coffee, grinds, and oil. Just wash in the sink with warm and soapy water, and don’t forget to wipe down the outside and the warming plate where spills can burn on.

Monthly Cleaning Step by Step:

  1. Fill the coffee maker’s reservoir with equal parts vinegar and water. Other people say it is better to adjust the white vinegar to water using a 1:2 ratio. Try either way and decide for yourself which works best.
  2. Put the pot in place and brew the solution.
  3. Once the brewing cycle is complete, shut off the machine and allow the vinegar solution to sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
  4. Brew a full pot of clean water until the vinegar oil disappears.
