Default How Often...

How often should I clean my coffee maker?

It's pretty basic, Cuisinart, 12 cup coffee brewer. I'm not really a religious coffee drinker, but I have a cup 2-4 times a week. Any help to offer?

I do it when I start noticing a lag, or a change in taste.

We try to clean it at least once a month, but I just hate the smell of vinegar in the house on the day of cleaning.

Once a month too or I might stretch to once every six weeks.

My wife hates it, I find it oddly pleasing.

You seem to be getting worse. I'd take your temperature and lay down for a bit until you get your senses back. Vinegar smells horrible!

I'm fine now, I think it was to much cake over the weekend.

I drink Kombucha, it has a vinegar quality to it. I also like vinegar.

Kombucha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
