Do you have a hard time cleaning your coffee maker?

    I have some type of mental block on doing this.

    I just cannot bring myself to do it until the coffee tastes like it was run through an ashphalt machine.

    No. We have very hard water so... clean the coffee maker or drink milk. 50/50 tap water and vinegar every month. No problems.

    I have a Cuisinart 14 cup coffee maker. It has a red light that comes on indicatting time to clean. Some vinegar/water and it cleans fine. I'll tip it on it's side and spray water into it. Good to go.

    I don't.

    Probably because I have never drank a full cup of coffee. :whistle:

    I stopped drinking it about a year or so ago. I never did a whole cup myself and figured I’d give stop drinking it a try. Slight headache the next day, but that was it.

    I’ll have a sip of my wife’s coffee now and again. Guess I don’t need the caffeine; stuff just ran through me and made me talk a lot more.

    I know. Not into hot liquids other than soups. If it makes me seem more normal I do choke down a cup of green tea daily (after it cools significantly). Not that I enjoy it, looking for health benefit.
