Cruddy coffee maker

Coffee is a must in the morning.  For the best tasting coffee you should clean your coffee maker monthly.  It is fairly easy to do.  You fill your coffee reservoir with 1 part vinegar and 4 parts water.  Run the mixture through the maker like you were making coffee.  When it is finished dump it out and run a full reservoir of water to rinse out any residue.

Now for burnt coffee.  Is that not one of the stinkiest smells ever.  If you have discovered burnt coffee in your pot first turn it off and let it cool completely.  After cooled add 1/2 cup ice* and 2 tsp salt.  Swirl the ice and salt mixture around for about a minute.  Discard the ice in the sink and follow the steps above clean the maker and the pot. 

*smaller ice works best but crushed ice will not work
