is there something to do to clean this coffee machine

I agree with the vinegar solution - I do dilute mine to about 50-50. However, I can taste the vinegar afterwards, so I run a couple of water only cycles after the vinegar to finish up.

I have heard a water-vinegar solution is good to run through to de-lime or otherwise clean. Have never needed to do so don't know for sure.

Andy, when I clean my Mr Coffee 12-Cup Coffeemaker I use a 32 ounce bottle of White Vinegar. Just pour it in like your going to make coffee. I use a coffee filter. Let it run through the first time. Now the vinegar will be hot and I pour it through one more time. Before you pour the hot vinegar into the coffeemaker turn it off for two minutes so it don't shoot out steam, you could get burned. Let it run through again. It should be clean now. Dicard the vinegar and check the filter for little particals, this will give you and idea if anything got into the coffeemaker as this could eventually clog it and won't let the water flow through. Dicard the filter. Depending on how much coffee you make I generally clean my Mr Coffeemaker once a month. I clean the coffee pot and coffee filter holder with soap and water after every use. Andy,I hope this answers your question.

You do the same things you would with any coffeemaker... Once in a while, run a little viinegar and water throught. Clean the filter basket regularly (it comes out easily). Wash the pot. That's about it.

Yes you can run vinegar & water through it about a cup of vinegar and the rest water then run plain water through it and it should be fine.

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!

I agree with the water and vinegar solution. This is needed only rarely. I put the pot right in the dishwasher occasionally and rinse it out on a regular basis with plain or soapy water - rinse well The plastic parts may warp in a dishwasher that is run on sanitize but otherwise those are OK in the dishwasher too.

Like all coffee grinders that I have owned, I use a brush to get any remaining coffee grinds out--then a paper towel is good for wiping clean. I dampen the paper towel just a little, and it comes very clean.

Not a big deal. i usually put mine in the dishwasher about every other time i make coffee. If u want to clean it evertime u make coffee just stick it under the faucet and rinse it out. It takes very little time and effort. Not a big deal.

I have a Mister Coffee machine that looks exactly like this. When my frother clogs, I remove the plastic sheath and unscrew the metal nozzle, ream it out with a straight pin and replace it. In day-to-day use, I let the frother blow into open air for a second after I remove the frothing cup before I switch the flow back to the carafe. I also remove the plastic sheath and flush it with tap water and wipe down the metal frother shaft with a damp paper towel after every use. If you don't do any immediate cleanup like this, the frother clogs up quickly.

I don't have a tried and true answer for you because I have not had a problem. But here are a couple of suggestions to try. Make sure you let it cool down before trying to dump it. Make sure to take it all apart (including the rubber gasket) and cleaning really good at least once a week or maybe more. Make sure you don't put more coffee in than you are supposed too. Make sure it's the right grind of coffee and not espresso grind. Hope you get the problem figured out.

How do you know that it needs cleaning? The error light could indicate a problem with the heating filament, or something stuck in front of the spout out of which the coffee pours.

I avoid using dishwashers and one of the best products I have found for removing coffee residue, even heavy build up, is oxi clean. A short occasional soak, and very thorough rinse, should keep it piping clean.

If you google the make and model number of your coffee maker and the word cleaning, you will find your answer including most likely youtube videos to demonstrate. The cleaner is fantastic, just not familiar with your machine. Mix it with water according to the label and use it instead of vinegar in the cleaning instructions.

Hmm... no, I don't have this problem. Maybe you can clean it? Run a water and baking soda solution thru the machine a couple times? Maybe a squeeze of real lemon juice to rid it of any smells.... Also, make sure to use bottled water or filtered water instead of tap if you can, that metallic taste may be coming from the tap water/coffee combo. I didn't do either of these things and my coffee is just fine. Best of luck.

Not sure which bottom part of the coffee maker, my wife has been using Siphon coffee maker for at least 30 years and she never has problem to clean both interior or exterior of the bottom pot (I believe that is the bottom part you mentioned), use small amount of dish detergent will clean both. But be careful to hold on the both top and bottom units while you do the cleaning, especially the top unit, my wife is a very careful person but she had broken at least 6 of them so far, and just 1 of the bottom so she is holding 5 or 6 unused bottom units for spares in case it breaks in future.

I can't help you out on this-----I did not keep this coffee maker long enough to clean the water tank. I suggest you contact the company direct.

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.

I haven't cleaned one yet but when I do I will put a small amount of dishsoap and enough water and then shake it. The other option would be to clean it like you would a coffee pot with ice, lemon juice or vinegar.

I use mine daily and never "clean" it. I just rinse it out and fill it with hot tap water before trading the water for fresh coffee.

I use soapy water to clean daily and run a cup of vinegar threw the coffee maker once a month to decalcify. This also takes away any stains in carafe.

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.
