Run some vinegar water through your pot,be sure to run pure water through it at least 3 times to rinse.

Yes, white vinegar is the way to clean a coffee pot. I tried apple cider vinegar once, and it smelled worse. Make sure to run a pot of just water after to eliminate any vinegar taste.

Run the pot through a complete cycle with baking soda and vinegar,let it set for a while, then run it again with just water. Use mostly vinegar in the first cycle, but you can put some water with the vinegar, but not much. This neutralize the smell and taste. Make sure you remember to run the clear water cycle,too or it won’t work. It will smell and taste like vinager. Clear water last!!!!! then you can make some good coffee after the water cycle!! Best wishes!

Use a vinegar solution to run through your coffee maker. Once you have removed the stains and smell run hot water through to remove the vinegar smell and taste.

Try running a cup of vinegar through a full pot of water. Then run a pot or two of plain water. Allow the coffee maker to cool between each cycle.

you need to run 1 part vinegar and 1 part water through your coffee maker….then run water through it again and bingo the taste and smell is gone….this also gets the calcium deposits out of the tubing….works for me…..it has to be regular white vinegar….not apple cider…..good luck and I hope you get to enjoy a fresh hot cup of jo afterwards……
