How To Clean Your Cuisinart Coffee Maker

 

Most models of Cuisinart coffee makers are cleaned in the same way, or maybe there will be a little bit of deviation, based on the model you’re using. Many of them have a clean feature and will indicate to you when it needs to be cleaned but some of them don’t. The manufacturers recommend that it should be cleaned at least once every three to six months, or anytime it has scale buildup from minerals. For coffee makers with the clean function, the clean light will come on to indicate that the coffee maker needs to be cleaned, but for others that don’t have a clean feature, there might not be any indication that it needs to be cleaned, so what you will do is to follow the time specification for cleaning, or you can clean when you notice a slowdown in the coffee maker efficiency or when the coffee taste starts to change. You can clean the coffee maker by;

  • running a brew with vinegar mixed with water in two parts vinegar and one part water.
  • Pour the mixture into the reservoir and let it brew, you might want to take out the filter because it should be in the coffee maker during this process. It has no tolerance for vinegar.
  • Clean all the removable parts, and wash them, either by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher. This should be done after every use, to keep away dirt or old coffee grounds from your coffee. So if you haven’t done that already, I think you should get to it.
  • After the vinegar brew is complete, run the same cycle with water twice, to make sure there is no vinegar left in the coffee maker, after that, your coffee maker is clean ready for work again.

After the cleaning process, if the light is still on, then your coffee maker needs to be reset. You can refer to the instruction manual of your coffee maker for more information on how to clean your Cuisinart coffee maker.
