How do I care for my coffee maker?

To best care for your coffee maker, it is recommended that you remove and clean the carafe, filter basket, and any other removable parts after each use. To properly clean, soak the parts in warm soapy water. It is recommended to clean the inside of your coffeemaker at least once a month. To do this, fill the reservoir with equal parts water and white vinegar and then start a brew. Be sure to run a round or two of water after the vinegar cycle to remove any leftover vinegar.

What kind of filters will fit in my coffee maker?

Some coffee makers come with reusable filters that require cleaning after each use, while others can be used with disposable paper filters. The most common types of disposable filters are cone filters and basket filters, and they come in a variety of sizes depending on the cup capacity of your coffee maker. Check the instruction manual to see which filter your coffee maker requires.

When should I replace my coffee maker?

Higher-end coffee makers can last up to 10 years, while the average coffee maker will need to be replaced after two to five years. Of course, the lifespan of a coffee maker depends on its use and care. The more regularly it is cleaned and maintained, the longer it should last.
