Worked for me. Some of these comments you folks posted you'd think you bought a Space Shuttle.

I love how clear she talks. Great pace, not too slow and not too fast. Totally was able to grasp this. Good job 👏

Thanks for the tutorial! Owner’s manual unclear!! Good job! 🚀

So glad you made this video. I lost my instructions to my new coffee maker just like yours. Thanks so much!!

Please do include the measurement amounts of the water and vinegar, and don't simply tell people to go find them in their manual (as in 3:18). For most of us, the whole reason we are looking up a video is that we cannot put hands on our manual.

I suggest start by telling us to remove the filters first. I followed all the instructions as stated, but didn't remove the filters, only to realize after the fact that she had them sitting next to the coffeemaker.

Never in the history of own anything, as the first video I searched the exact thing I own and the answer to the exact question I had. THANK YOU!!

Cuisinart has the best maintenance presentations. Thank you!!! You saved me a huge headache!

Thank you so much for this! I got this coffee maker as a hand-me-down and I don't have instructions or the small home barista part. I didn't even know it existed! You saved my coffee! 😊

So, the instruction booklet says 1/3 portion of vinegar to 2/3 of water, so that would be 4 CUPS of vinegar to 8 cups of water for a 12 cup pot. She says 4 OUNCES and its obvious she's pouring more than half a cup of vinegar.

You should mention that you need to press the "brew" button before you press the "clean" button. I couldn't figure out why my "clean" button wasn't flashing.

This is best video I’ve found for cleaning my Cuisnart coffee system. My single cup pods kept exploding, someone suggested to try cleaning it. I found this video & now everything works perfectly once again! Thank you

Thank you for this video! Our coffee maker is now CLEAN!

Thank you so much. This was simple and informative.

Thank you so much! Love the presentation .. Great coffee once again🤩

Thank you so much, I was beginning to worry because I could not find out. I appreciate you.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Took me around 20 minutes and my Krispy Kreme coffee is once again amazing! Thanks a 1,000,000! You are truly awesome!

Excellent job describing how to clean this coffee maker. You made it so easy to follow along with.

Thank you for the great tips, my Cuisinart didn't have any instructions, so thank you very much 💕👏👏😁

Thank you so much my clean button has been on on the single serve side for over a year 😅I’ve been ignoring it and really needed to clean it thanks so much. It was a gift so no box or instruction manual ❤

Thank you for the nice totorial on how to best clean the Cuisinart

Glad the two button push on the single-cup brewer was mentioned, not mentioned in the manual or any markings on buttons.

What do I use to clean the clear plastic single-serve tank? it is getting cloudy looking.

Saved to Favorites! Awesome video!

Straight and to the point excellent 👌 vid!

I stopped using my coffee maker 1.5 months ago and I want it to be thoroughly clean. Thanks so much for the tutorial

Great tutorial. Thanks for the info.

Straightforward , Thank you!

You should have mentioned that you need to remove the charcoal filters out of the reservoirs.

Thanks for the tutorial! I could not figure it out from the owners manual for the Keurig side!

You should mention that before you start cleaning the coffee maker that the charcoal filters should be removed.

Thanks for the video. Cleaned the Carafe side for the first time and decided to make a pot of coffee versue a single use K-Cup. Wow, I have been wondering if I would ever have a very hot cup of coffee ever again, and the answer is yes, it's been waiting in my kitchen the last couple of years.

Great job....thank you!

Is this as good as the perfect temp 14 cup dcc3200 ? Does it have as many features ? I have heard so many good things about that one.Now I can't decide

On the single serving side there is a clear rubber "stopper" that partially covers the bottom needle piercer. Does that have to be removed????? In the reviews folks constantly say that side splashed all over the place until you remove the little plastic "shroud" that fits over the needle...IS THIS TRUE? I can't find a reference anywhere but sure enough, I looked and it IS ther on the bottom needle that pierces the "K-CUP". Please advise, Thank-you in advance.

Thank you very much :)

Nice video. Glad to see it doesn't require a $50 cleaning kit.

Sorry, just to clarify, I have 2 questions: • can the single serve and carafe cleaning mode be run at the same time? I didn't catch it if she mentioned that • to rinse off the single serve, when she said 3 complete times, did she mean 3 full reservoirs or 3 cups? It seemed like she meant 3 reservoirs but just to make sure

Wipe down the product ! How about remove the charcoal filter before you run vinegar through it! Seriously.

Perfect for people who like different types of coffee

Great video but, I want to know how to get the mineral buildup off of the inside of the water reservoir for the single cup side. A special brush, or any old regular bottle brush? Also, the red clean light on the large side has been on for a few weeks. Does that mean it is cleaning every time someone brews a pot?

Thank you!!!

after cleaning the pot , how long does the clean light stays on? more than an hour??

Great instructions

How do you get the light to reset and go out? As for the pods exploding, I push them down to pierce the cup before closing. The plastic is tougher than the thin foil on top.

good job Mary!

Welp, I ran the cleaning cycle WITH the filter in place. Didn't remove because she didn't state that BEFORE she got started. Do I now need to get a new charcoal filter??? UGH...

So much useful information!!! I have a different model, but this helped me because, while I was pushing the clean button, I was not HOLDING IT DOWN. That made the difference! Also - charcoal filter??? I had no idea that was in there! I have been using that for YEARS, unchanged. I will get new ones today and change them regularly. Question for anyone who can answer: What is the difference between having it go through the CLEAN cycle and the BREW cycle? Does the water go to different places during each cycle?

I have a feeling I threw away the instructions by accident but I followed this video for tips 😅 thank you!

Does anyone find that the reservoir for the single cup leaks and the pot drips when you pour coffee

I'm assuming we clean this without those charcoal filters inside as per the video, also how do you clean those, or do we just replace them?

Thanks you perfect and easy vídeo .

When the red light goes on during normal use, is it an indication that the unit needs cleaning or is it on a timer that goes on regardless of use? I use the left side of the coffee maker perhaps twice a month, and the single serve side every day for about four cups of coffee. Do both sides need to be cleaned to turn the red light off? What does it indicate when I've cleaned the left side and the red light doesn't go iff?

Thank you!!

Another note; the directions say add “a portion of vinegar and a portion of water to the barista center” with no mention of quantities. It appears to be a similar ratio to the main brewing section, or 2/3 water and 1/3 vinegar in the barista reservoir.

i did the clean cycle with just the water after the vinegar water mixture but ii'll do the brew water only just in case

Does it have to be white vinegar. Can I use apple cider vinegar

Not sure if I'm missing something, I pressed and held the "Clean" button and it is just flashing for the last 10 mins?

Cuisinart is a great coffee machine I have the older model from this version that's on this video I recommend to anyone that this is the best coffee maker machine on the internet to purchase and plus you can make hot tea and hot chocolate on the other Reservoir side of this machine that's awesome ☺️👍.

thanks! Parents just gave me their old one. I don’t think they ever cleaned it! 😂 lol not that it mattered to them really. Anyways I am cleaning it now hopefully it will be “restored” so that I can use it another few years.

Thank you!

Does this clean method work with all cuisinart coffee makers?

Nice video. I followed the instructions, but I ran into an anomaly. On the single serve side. On the last rinse the coffee maker stops after dispensing about 2 ounces of rinse water and the servings size lites flash. I can't get passed this cycle. By the way the machine is out of warranty by two weeks. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Me gusta es muy 😮lindo yo lo tengo y es una maravilla felicidades

Great video! I was confused on the part around 6:40, where she begins to run in the cleaning mode, telling us to do this 3 complete times. Does she mean to run three cupfuls or completely drain the reservoir 3 times?

Ur awesome !!

After cleaning I can not get it to stop clean cycle, have unplugged and waited over night and nothing stops it

What if the floatie floats up and then back down and stays down? Which means the 'add water' light stays on.

Beneficial video and obvious intrusions, thank you!

The right side of k-cup water drips while brewing, how to solve?

I am on my second coffeemaker like the one in the video. Now this one is doing the same thing as the first one did. The red clean light will not stay off. I have cleaned it with vinegar twice and it still comes on. I have tried unplugging it and it still stays on. After I cleaned it 2 days ago it didn't come on until the second time I made coffee. What is wrong to keep the light coming on. This machine is barely a year old. And this is the reason I got rid of my first machine.

I don't see where you mention to change the filter in the one cup serve Reservoir and when to put it back in.

I need help cleaning the self serve side. When I turn the machine on , the red cleaning light is on and the three blue lights start flashing.

Great video. Are you able to clean both sides at the same time?

How do you turn off the clean light?

Well done. She says 4 oz at the start, but means 4 ounces. She also does not say to have removed the charcoal water filter before the rinse, but tells us to replace it at the end. However, there was good clarity and the presenter did a nice job.

I've gotten 3 brand new Cusisnart coffee makers all 3 will not go to the first time rinse.They keep having me send them back.Its preset to do a hot rinse from the factory, it just come up not ready/ add water.You can't get past it .

Thank you

My home barista side has the red light on to clean it and no matter how long I hold down the first 2 buttons nothing ever happens. Is there anything else I can do or is it just broken? 😢

Should my single cup reservoir be completely empty when the "Add Water" light comes on? Mines does not do this. The light comes on whenever the water level falls below the "Min Fill" line.

does the main coffee side ......take longer than normal? slow water brewing while cleaning?

Hey Chef Crazy. You didnt add 4 oz of vinegar you added 4 coffee cups which is around 24 oz. Look at your carafe? Its half empty. So which is it? 4oz or 24oz?

Do we run the second cycle on clean mode or brew mode?

What if I want to clean the water reservoir for the single serve side? Can it go into the dishwasher as well?

Great, for the past month, I've been following directions in the manual that came with the dually, and it said press-hole 6-10oz to clean. Well, as you know it didn't work so found this one and pressed the 3-6 and voila.. Manual is wrong.. so thanks, clean light is OFF !! finally.. whew

Thank you so much. That damned red light was driving me nuts. The manual does not tell you how to clean it correctly.

I wonder what about the filters and the gizmo she set adide, what to do with that....

I didn't realize I had to pull out the charcoal filter! Lucky the cleaning cycle barely started!

Do you have a problem with the carafe leaking? Mine leaks all over the place every time I pour, whether pouring into the reservoir or a cup of coffee.

My pod doesn't work I cleaned but still don't work ,what can do to fix and work again

When I pushed on the 2 lights the clean light never did flash

So what do you do when the 3 difference coffee size lights blink in unison?

When cleaning the single serve after using vinegar and water, do you run three cups of clear water or three reservoirs of water??

Thank you -- the manual doesn't really explain cleaning the single serve.

After cleaning, the coffee maker doesnt brew and not heating. What to do?

Instead of dumping the vinegar, use it to kill weeds if they're growing. Great for weeds on your patio or any interlocking pavers.

My clean buttons on the machine are both red and won’t get off

She used the coffee pot as her measuring cup. The vinegar amount she said is 4 Oz. The coffee pot's 4 mark is not 4 oz but 4 cups. So I assumed I best put in more vinegar if I am using my measuring cup. My pot is stainless steel, not clear glass. I agree about not instructing us to remove the filters first. So U am soaking my filter in cold water to get the vinegar ot of it.

We have cleaned ours several times, but it is stuck on the clean cycle. The red light won't go off. Any suggestions?

I can't believe a multi-million dollar company (or billion) can't make a proper cleaning video. This probably reflects the processes they used to manufacture products. Please remake the video stating to remove the filters prior to putting vinegar on it! 🤦🏻‍♂️
