Regular Cleaning

The easiest way to keep your Mr. Coffee clean is to rinse it after every use. After you finish a pot of coffee, rinse the carafe thoroughly and let it dry. Remove and discard the filter as soon as the machine cools down.

You may also want to avoid leaving coffee in the carafe for too long. It's easy to forget, but the longer you leave it, the more coffee you'll need to scrub off later. When washing your carafe, avoid scented soaps, which can leave odd flavors when you brew your new pot. To avoid damaging the carafe, use a soft, non-abrasive sponge.

Deeper Cleaning

Every 90 brew cycles, you'll want to do a deeper clean. Depending on how often you make coffee, this could be once every month or two. If you have hard water or notice a buildup in your machine, this is especially important.

To remove these mineral deposits, you'll need a cleaning solution. You can buy a cleaning solution online, but white vinegar also works well.
