!±8± How to Clean a Cuisinart Coffeemaker

Cuisinart coffeemaker makes one awesome coffee maker. But despite its many advantages, it still needs to be treated with utmost care just like every other coffee machine.

Step 1: If you have just finished using this brewer, unplug it first and let it cool down. Discard the used filter with the used coffee grounds. Remove the filter basket first and then rinse it well to remove coffee resides. Dry it using a clean towel and place it back on the brewer.

Step 2: First, you should decalcify the inside of your brewer. This process involves removing the lime deposits inside. Also, it gets rid of most of molds and residues. All you need is a vinegar solution. Mix one parts of vinegar with one parts of water and then pour it on the water tank of the brewer.

Step 3: Place coffee filter again and the coffee basket. This brewer actually has a self-cleaning function so you can just press the clean button and then press the on button to start the metal cleaning process. The vinegar solution will pass on the inside of the brewer to remove the gunk and deposits.

Step 4: If it is still very dirty and it needs one more round of cleaning cycle, turn the machine on again. The clean button is still flashing at this point so fill the water tank again with vinegar solution and then press the on button. After cleaning, it will immediately turn off.

Step 5: Remove the contents of the carafe and give the carafe a rinse. Use sponge to clean the inside of the brewer. Rinse it with water and let it dry or dry it up using a clean towel.

Step 6: Discard the filters. Once the machine cools down, you can wipe the exterior of the machine. Use a sponge and dip it in vinegar solution to get rid of stains on the outside of the brewer.

Step 7: Use a dry and clean towel to wipe off excess moisture on the outside of the machine. Now your Cuisinart brewer is already clean.

Do this process once a week, two times if you are using your brewer frequently. Minerals tend to build up in the metal parts of the brewer and this can lead to clogging.

So do yourself and your brewer a favour and use these steps to extend the life of your favourite coffee machine.
