I wipe off the exterior of the coffee maker and the warmer plate with a damp dishcloth as needed. I put the glass carafe, its lid, and the coffee basket in the top rack of my dishwasher about once a week. Daily I just rinse the carafe and basket out with water or with soapy water (dish detergent such as Dawn or Joy, etc.) and rinse. A couple of times a year I try (?!) to remember to run some vinegar water, followed by several cycles of plain water, through the coffee maker. I think I've used the deliming tool a time or two, but didn't get much residue out. I don't think it requires much special treatment unless you have water issues.

I bought mine used from Amazon. It should had been discarded instead of resold there for I believe there was no inspection before reselling the coffee maker. This is why I say buy new

I have since moved to a new city and left the Bertazzoni behind, so I cannot recall exactly how it is cleaned...but my memory is telling me that it's non-self-cleaning, so you've got to do it the old fashioned way. I'd recommend looking up the particular range you have in mind on the Bertazzoni site (just Google "Bertazzoni manual" and you should be able to find a PDF and figure it out. :-)

I have an old coffee maker and use the hot plate portion of it but there are also candle warmers out there that will do the job, or you can get a legit waxing melting one at beauty supply stores, or on amazon.

We used Dawn to wash the coffee pot and lightly wipe down the outer surface with a damp wash cloth. The interior can be de-limed if you have hard water, but I used another Bunn coffee maker for 10 years without ever needing to de-lime it.

A couple rinses of the plunger and container to get rid of the coffee grounds is obviously required. I also recommend a quick wipe of the inside of the container afterwards to ensure that there is no coffee stains or "rings" remaining.

My husband just found the booklet on the coffee maker. The flashing button indicates that u need to decalcafy the unit by removing the charcoal filter. Next fill reservoir with water and mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water. Press clean button. When clean light glows, pressing the on/off coffee maker button. The clean light will shine steadily. The coffee maker is now in Clean mode . When cycle is complete, the coffee maker will beep 5 times and automatically shut off. If clean light stops flashing, turn off coffee maker and run cold water thru unit before using unit to brew coffee. Remember to put charcoal filter back in before brewing coffee. Hope this helps!

You open the top (right) of the coffeemaker and lift the coffee tank and the coffee grounds basket out of the coffeemaker; carry to sink, remove the coffee grounds basked and empty into trash, and pour out any remaining brewed coffee. Wash the basket and tank, dry, and return to the coffeemaker for the next time you make coffee.

I use a simple coffee pot cleaner. Under $5 at the local grocery store. Let it soak for a couple of minutes and viola, clean pot.

There should only be a little water in the espresso holder when you empty the used grounds. It may be that you are pacing the espresso in to tightly or too loose. After the grounds are in the holder you should tamp or press them lightly; not jamming them down, but not having them loose. Hope that helps

After first cleaning and descaling the inner workings of the Verismo with this solution, try some white vinegar on all of the surfaces inside the pod receptacle and liquid catch try. Then leave everything disassembled and open to the air for a day or so before putting it together and brewing coffee.
