The result was to bake all those coffee grounds onto the sides of the water chamber. How can I safely clean the water chamber? I've tried to use a pipe cleaner to scrub the sides, but the grounds are pretty well baked on. I've tried running a vinegar mixture through it, but that didn't do the trick. Anyone have any better ideas? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.55147 Tue, 16 Jan 2007 11:50:26 -0800 cleaning coffee coffeemachine household kitchen krups IndigoSkye http://ask.metafilter.com/12610/Whats%2Dthe%2Dbest%2Dcoffeemaker CoffeeFilter: The best automatic maker, straight up -- no double-teaming, grinding or frothing -- please? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.12610 Tue, 07 Dec 2004 05:42:06 -0800 beverages coffee coffeemaker gadgets kitchen thinkpiece http://ask.metafilter.com/5653/Coffemaker%2Dodor%2Doptions I have a fairly new, but well used, coffeemaker that uses a thermal carafe and cone-shaped plastic filter holder. The carafe also has a plastic valve/lid, and the most relevant parts of the machine, where the coffee is poured through, are all plastic. This plastic, unlike stainless steel, absorbs the odor and color of coffee and I can't seem to get rid of it. The reason it's a problem is that the coffee that now pours through has a hint of this odor with every cup, and I have a sensitive palette. What are my options? Or palate...whoops. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.5653 Thu, 04 Mar 2004 19:38:39 -0800 coffee howto kitchen plastic SeizeTheDay http://ask.metafilter.com/4686/Espresso%2DCleanup One for the home espresso people: do any of you know of a good way to clean out the grounds that get compacted in the holes of the portafilter basket? I've tried the dishwasher and extended soaking in hot, acidic water, but no luck. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.4686 Fri, 16 Jan 2004 06:18:56 -0800 coffee doingdishes espresso household kitchen portafilter shoos
