There is a reservoir that holds the brewed coffee. It comes out. All you have to do is remove it, empty and rinse. Put back in and brew another pot. Really easy.

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.

Just put a cup under and drain until no more comes out. Also, the part where the coffee is comes out I believe. It's easy to maintain.

Under the lid, there is a canister with a handle. You lift the entire assembly out and drain into the sink.

There is a portable tank with a handle inside the coffee maker that holds the coffee. Therefore, you don't have to tilt or turn the entire coffee maker upside down to empty. All you have to do is take the "holding tank" out of the machine by the handle, and empty and rinse out. Easy as pie. Hope this helped.

Make sure you fill water below the spout opening. You could also try cleaning it with 1/4 cup vinegar and fill with water just below opening and run full cycle. Then empty and make fresh pot of coffee.

Knock out the grounds into the wastebasket, run hot water/sprayer through the mesh, and stick it on the tops shelf of the dishwasher once a week or so. When hand washing, I don't use soap because I don't want any soapy residue ruining my otherwise perfect cup of coffee.

Use white vinegar - ((you buy it at a grocery store- very cheaply I might add). Other than that- just use a soft facecloth and wipe it down on the outside after use. Leave the top open for it to air dry inside, do not use dish detergent in the area where the water goes or you'll taste soap in your coffee for months!

That's easy. Of course, initially rinse everything and then, just add water like you normally do but without the coffee. Heat up until it's done, and pour out the brownish water. You can repeat this one more time if you like. Note: you can always do the quicker way of just putting it in a pot and adding boiling water. Let sit for 5 to 15 minutes. Then pour out water and air dry in either case.

Put 4 level tablespoons of coffee grounds in the basket. Set the basket back into the pot. Slowly fill the pot with COLD water from the tap. When it reaches half way up the black band at the top, stop adding water. Stir gently with a spoon to make sure all the grounds are damp. Put the brewing coffee in the refrigerator over night. In the morning, lift out and drain the grounds. Coffee can be heated if desired, but it's great cold on a hot morning like those we've all been having.

You can't! Do not waste your money on this machine. It makes a huge mess when the coffee was brewing. I returned it and would not waste my money on this garbage.

You leave it down when you are attaching the filter to the machine. After brewing espresso, you can remove the filter handle assembly from the machine, flip up the lever, and turn the whole handle/filter assembly upside-down over a wastebasket or knockbox to bang the used espresso grounds out.

Don't take it apart beyond removing the filter basket, since it is highly unlikely you will get the portafilter (handle unit) back together . Soak the whole think in Urnex coffee machine cleaner and hot water and then flush.

You can hold a container up to the push button and drain it or simply lift out the container the coffee is in and dump. I wait until after it's cooled off and I am ready to make coffee for the next morning. I rinse mine well each day before I make a new pot for the next day. It all comes apart and back together really very simply. BEST coffee maker ever! We have had ours since July and to be honest, if it broke tomorrow, we would buy another, we like it that well.

1. Turn off and unplug the coffeemaker. Wait for the warming plate to completely cool before cleaning. 2. Combine warm water & a few drops of dish-washing liquid. Dip a clean, soft cloth or paper towl into the mixture & wipe the warming plate until the burned-on residue is gone. 3. Apply a small amount of vinegar to a cleaning sponge if the cleaning mixture does not remove the burned-on residue. Scrub gently to remove the residue. 4. Dampen a clean cloth or paper towel with water and wipe the warming plate. 5. Allow the warming plate to air dry completely, or dry it with a towel before turning the coffeemaker on. Good Luck! 1.

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.

When you put in the paper filter, wet it with water and gently push it down into the cone so it is stuck to the bottom and edges. Then put in your coffee. Wet the grounds with hot water and proceed to half fill with water. Continue slowly adding water until your cup is full. the wet filter sticks to the cone and creates a vacuum so it drains much more slowly. I was tempted to plug one hole before even trying this for the first time but followed the directions in the email that I received after purchasing the cone first and it does work. Too coarse a grind will speed up the drip, too. Mine is just a little finer than traditional drip grind.

well it is easy to clean to me. The coffee residue will be in a cake form so what you need to do is put the coffee cake in the trash can or save it for other use. Every part else can be rinse with water. Hope this helps you. :)

I ran a cycle of water through mine before I used it. Just to rinse it out. Coffee tastes great.

I found a solution! Take a can of compressed air, the kind you use to clean your keyboard, and shoot a few short bursts into the water drain after removing the water reservoir. Do this when the machine is off and the water has cooler. OR, use a small needle to poke around in the top piercing needle for a few seconds then run a cycle without a k-cup. You should get a full cup of hot water with lots of coffee grounds floating around. It's a quirk but this resolution really works!
