Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your coffee maker.

Daily Cleaning

• Unplug: Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
• Drip Tray and Grid: Remove the drip tray and grid. Wash them in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
• Reusable Filter and Coffee Basket: Remove the reusable filter and coffee basket. Discard used coffee grounds. Wash both components in warm, soapy water. The coffee basket is dishwasher safe (top rack). Rinse and dry.
• Brew Head: Wipe the inside of the brew head with a damp cloth to remove any coffee residue.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Descaling (Monthly or as Needed)

Mineral deposits (calcium) can build up in your coffee maker over time, affecting performance. Descale your unit monthly or when you notice slower brewing or excessive steam.

1. Prepare Descaling Solution: Mix 1 part white vinegar with 2 parts water. Fill the water reservoir with this solution.
2. Run Cycles: Place an empty mug on the drip tray. Run several brew cycles with the vinegar solution until the reservoir is empty. Do not add coffee grounds.
3. Rinse Cycles: After the descaling solution has run through, fill the reservoir with fresh, clean water. Run 2-3 full cycles with clean water to rinse out any remaining vinegar taste.
