A clean coffee maker is essential to good coffee. Residue of
stale coffee oils will interfere the brewing that caused only little produced.
It is suggest regular cleaning of your coffee maker according to manufacturer
recommendation.
I took everything
out, got a small piece of fine sandpaper, held the plunger in with a pencil,
turned on the grinder and sanded the round top portion of the grind basket
driver. It takes a few times to get a good snug fit that’s still easy to
remove.
The instruction manual that came with the pot will tell you
to use one cup (measuring cup) of "white vinegar" and fill the rest
of the reservoir with regular water. Turn it on and let it perk the mixture
through the system. Then perk a couple of pots of plain water to flush out the
rest of the vinegar.
The books say to do this once a month to keep things clean and the coffee
tasting great.
A professional machine that is plumbed into a water supply
must be thoroughly disassembled, and each part soaked in acid, and manually
cleaned. Unless your water is exceptionally hard (you should have a water
softener inline with the machine in hard water areas) this should only need to be
done every 5 years or so. Heads and screens and filters should be soaked every
day in a cleaning solution available from any professional machine supplier. A
machine that is not plumbed should have a small amount of Puly brand cleaner
added to its tank, and run through several cycles every 3 months. Puly is
available thru machine suppliers, but there are also several other brands that
do the same. Visit your local coffee machine shop for a good cleaner.
Hope this may help;
