Cleaning Your Coffee Maker??

...mounted on a stainless steel wire from a wire EDM'd slot in the bean with a small base on the bottom. A perpetual drip above the mombo bean makes the coffee. When the bean is dissolved, the machine is just loaded with another.
 
In fact, an optional attachment allows a strategically mounted civet cat to conveniently dispense fresh beans. Just feed regularly and tug on the tail as needed.
 
I'm on no sleep. You* grab the cat, I get a bag of beans.



*I'd use Captain Kirk, but he's on a meat-only diet.

How 'bout I get that calico cat that Gaylord Focker retrived. The tail has already been prepped for efficacy.

You're not gonna get TSP runs, are you...?

!!! Yeah, my mind thought that way when I was typing it out but I left it as-is...

How about some ratios...


I used about two tablespoons of citric acid in a carafeful of water (next time I might make it three or four, it didn't seem very potent). I ran the solution through it two or three times in an attempt to make up for the apparently weaker solution. Then again, our water here is VERY soft and probably even a tad acidic anyway; there's never any lime buildup.

As for the TSP- I used about three tablespoons to a carafeful, this time replacing the solution on each run because it was obviously doing some cleaning.
 
I thought not washing added flavor..

I ran vinegar through mine once that was it. I haven't used it in ages. I've started using a strainer to make coffee on my days off.

Cleaned mine using vinegar. It was nasty! That's after using Brita-filtered water for every use and cleaning it 3 months ago.

Guess what thost Brita filters let through...

Was that the 3% mouth cleaner H2O2 or the real stuff? Or something in between?
It is the stuff sold in grocery stores and such. I like H202 because it leaves no residue if it dries, it kills germs, and it cleans. Of course, rinsing with water is still needed.

I see that Solodriver tried it and it worked. Woo-hoo!

Will you look at that, a small semi-automatic model for non-commercial use!
