White vinegar and water run through a brew cycle. Rinse with plain water cycles afterward.
What You’ll Need
- White distilled vinegar (half the reservoir)
- Water (the other half — a 50/50 solution)
- Large mug microfiber cloth
Equipment
- pitcher
Directions
- Empty the reservoir and take out any K-cup and the water filter; put a large mug on the drip tray.
- Fill the reservoir halfway with vinegar and the rest of the way with water.
- Brew with no pod on the largest setting, pouring out the mug each time, until the reservoir is empty.
- Leave it for about 30 minutes.
- Fill with fresh water again and run cycles until you cannot smell vinegar and the water runs clear.
- Wipe the outside, the drip tray and the pod holder.
- Put the filter back, fill with fresh water, and run one last cycle.
