This video is way better than the other "more professional" videos out there. The other ones are garbage with a bunch of fluff. This guy is real! And the type of video you can watch while you make your sandwich for the day.

The man knows what he's talking about. My wife and I drink a couple pots a day and had not cleaned our pot like this in at least a year, possibly closer to two. It started taking a long time to brew a pot of coffee and I knew I needed to clean it with vinegar but kept putting it off until finally I broke down and cleaned it today. I ran the machine with vinegar and baking soda 3 times because of the amount of crud that kept coming out, then ran 3 pots of just plain fresh water changing the filter every time so i could identify if the crud stopped coming out of it. Then I washed and thoroughly rinsed the basket that holds the coffee, the pot itself and the outside of the entire machine. It now brews a pot of coffee 10 times faster and tastes so much better. It didn't even take very long considering how long I put it off.

Real ingenuity is taking the knowledge that we have and finding new ways to apply it onto our everyday lives. We all know of the volcano science project for school, but before watching this I did not know it could be applied like this. And to think I was gonna spend extra bucks on a gallon of CLR. Thank you kindly sir.

Hi Kenny, I Appreciate You for sharing your video! I cleaned my coffee pot 2 days ago. It tastes better and brews faster now. In a month, I will use your method because to me your way sounds More Logical. You Proved it! My Phone screen was open and I don't have a clue how I just happened to tap my screen and there you were. I just wanted to say Thank You for being so Generous by posting You're Valuable information! Patti

I love the clear, slow explanation! Brilliant!

Never thought of adding baking soda to the vinegar! I’m gonna try this on my classroom coffee maker today!

Awesome info! 👌🏾 Thanks for sharing Kenny!

Thanks Kenny for this very helpful video I plan to utilize your instructions to clean our coffee maker at home & school!

First I used half vinegar then half water in my 3 yr. old Hamilton Beach Brew Station. Hoot I should of watched your vid first, oh well so I did a second cleaning with your recipe. I was a little hesitant to mix the Vinegar w/Baking Soda since it foams up so I used a clear large pickle jar to mix in. I waited for the foam to settle down. The second time with the baking soda/vinegar mix was dirtier than the first cleaning with half water half vinegar! I was surprised at how much more grime your mix pulled out of my coffee maker! So I tried your mix on my 8 mos. old Sboly single pod coffee maker. Sure enough, there was a lot of sediments and cloudy liquid that was in there too! My little experiment worked & I have cleaner coffee thanks to you! Keep up the great work Kenny! I appreciate your tips!👏👏👏👏👏😁😁

I added my baking soda to my vinegar and it volcano shot out all over my counter. It was like doing a science experiment at 6am! Great video, thanks so much!

🙌 thank you really really work !!!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks buddy,awsome.

Thanks!

Thank you Kenny

thx kenny

Sir, your voice is so soothing...are you a minister? Great video!!

Thank you 😊

I saw a comment below that said baking soda and vinegar neutralize each other...so I googled it... Sure enough it's a fact, I saw the same answer from multiple searches. Does baking soda cancel out vinegar when cleaning? Conclusion. Mixing baking soda and white vinegar is not the be-all, end-all cleaning solution. Used separately, both substances are great. Together, though, they cancel each other out. I followed your directions though (still in the cleaning process) but what's in the carafe doesn't look too promising. I've never cleaned this coffee pot (about 2 years old). After this cleaning I'm going to follow the majority of what others say Vinegar and water (about half and half) This coffee pot is going to get a workout tonight! haha

I was thinking about that, Googled it, found you, like & subscribe to your channel

I just did this last night… wow I thought I kept mine clean, nope. Worked very well. Just use water for 1-2 cycles afterwards to get it all out.

Here for the tricks thanks I don’t really wanna spend 30 minutes watching a how to clean the coffee pot I wish the other folks would get to the point

Awesome! I may ot have to go buy that coffee maker cleaner after all! Thank you!!☮️💜 What if I only have a half quart of ACV? can I add water and still have it work?

My aunt gave me her Hamilton beach coffee pot and it was nasty. Black dirty all through it and it cleaned it all out I can't wait to see how it works in the morning.

I'm slightly confused because baking soda is a great embrace of cleanser and vinegar is a great acid cleanser. But when you put the two together they cancel each other out. Separately they are wonderful not so inherently when they're mixed together. Maybe hot water and baking soda through the first time followed by the vinegar Or follow the vinegar with the baking soda so you can neutralize the vinegar out of the coffee pot? I don't always run to p plain water for coffee pot cycles through before making

Thanks

I usually just use vinegar but I will try it your way. Thanks

How do you keep it from foaming out of the jug and losing some of the vinegar?

Is baking soda a must for this descaling? Can we descale the machine with just distilled vinegar?

doesn't the baking soda just neutralize the vinegar so wouldn't just vinegar work better alone?

Well, I got done with this and my coffee still tastes a bit gnarly...it may be too far-gone. I'm just going to try the coffee maker cleaner at Walmart and if THAT doesn't work I'll probably have to get a new coffeemaker.😢 The thing you showed us might have worked, had I done it sooner. Thx

I used vinegar but it wasn't enough so I'm trying this to see if I can get the scales off

What is a quart

I use a poor over system for coffee, flavor is better, never have to clean it other than a simple rinse and it looks much more elegant and always grind your beans never buy pre ground coffee, the flavor between the two is night and day

You should not use vinegar in modern coffee machines. The plastics that are typically used in these devices are only moderately compatible with acetic acid. You citric acid instead. that is also cheap, and won´t attack the plastics.
