The water in Los Angeles, California and London, England is very hard, and constant use of coffee machines means there is a build up of lime scale on the inner workings of your machines.
This can lead to :
odd flavored coffee
cooler coffee
actual break down of the machine
slow drip and leaks
The cure is so very easy and does not need "designer/expensive cleaning products.
Allow 1/2 cup vinegar to the full carafe (or water reservoir/tank) of water and pour into the machine, allow it to sit for 1 hour, Then run it as usual until all the vinegar water has been expressed.
Next fill the carafe with clean fresh water and run through the machine as usual, do this rinse several times...you will be amazed at the dark color of the water coming from your machine.
When the hot water is clear and has no vinegar taste, make you coffee as usual.
The best vinegar is distilled/white; cider; red wine..do not use Balsamic.
This technique will also clean the carafe!
