Since coffee pots are full of germs and bacteria, it is important to clean yours daily. The removable parts should be taken out and cleaned in addition to wiping down the exterior parts. Every three to six months, cleaning the inside of the coffee pot with equal parts of water and vinegar can help to keep the machine working properly and smoothly. Just rinsing your machine out is not enough to clean it, and can actually harvest more bacteria in the long run.

• Running cycles of vinegar through coffee maker can also keep it running longer.
