One small victory for saving kind!!!

February 18th, 2008 at 07:16 pm

I have a Krups coffee maker which I purchased for the hubby for his birthday a few years ago. It's the kind where the coffee drips right into a carafe and does not have a hot plate (he was tired of the burnt flavored coffee left after the pot's been on awhile). After years of use it accumulated a black film inside the carafe, not easily cleaned/removed which has caused the coffee to taste like tar. Thought about buying a new one, but instead pull out CLR and filled/soaked/scrubbed about four times today. It is spotless (not back to brand new, but looks gently used in a lovely, clean sort of way). I am so proud. I love how I've begun to start thinking, "do I REALLY need this?" Feels so good.

Back to cleaning now. Geez, I get a day off and make up for lost time blogging.

    Glad to hear you got the carafe cleaner. Now the bad news-that gunk is probably in the machine as well and affecting the taste of your coffee. An easy fix is to run a couple of pots of vinegar thru the machine followed by a couple of pots of water to flush out any remaining vinegar.

    You'll both be enjoying better tasting coffee real soon!
