How to Clean Your Automatic Drip Coffee Maker
Cover countertops to protect them from spills or splashes, and wear protective gloves. Empty and replace the brew basket. Fill your coffee maker reservoir (do not exceed maximum fill line) with 1 ounce of Bar Keepers Friend Coffee Maker Cleaner for every 8 ounces of cold water.
Place the empty coffee maker carafe under the brew basket and initiate the brew cycle (or the clean cycle, if your coffee maker has that setting). Once the cycle is complete, turn off the coffee maker and leave the cleaning solution in the carafe for several minutes (up to 30 minutes, if the carafe is badly stained).
Discard the cleaning solution, fill the carafe with cold water only, pour the water into the reservoir, and restart the brew cycle to rinse away any remaining cleaning solution. When the brew cycle is complete, empty and wash the carafe and brew basket. Your clean coffee maker is now ready to use!
