I love how clear she talks. Great pace, not too slow and not too fast. Totally was able to grasp this. Good job 👏
🎉
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.
Omg you just helped me so much thank you!
YES! I had to figure it out by trial and error.
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.
Yes it is clearly 4 cups of vinegar she put in. So what she misspoke. That does not make the video terrible. Anyone that has common sense or is paying any attention can get some help from this video. Thanks for posting it!
If you’re only listening and not watching as she describes it, it IS a problem that she misspeaks.
I was searching the interweb to see if there was a different ounce measurement, because it certainly looked like 4 cups
I seems each new version of Cuisinart Coffee Maker needs a different button sequence. IF YOUR CLEAN BUTTON DOES NOT START THE PROCESS, PRESS THE BREW BUTTON DOWN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND THEN THE CLEAN BUTTON. THIS SHOULD START THE CLEANING CYCLE. THE MACHINE WILL THEN TURN IRSELF TO 'ON' TO GET STARTED.
@@paulzettler5574 Where does it say the video is terrible? 😂😂😂
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.
Wow!! She suggests that we refer to our "instruction manual. I WOULDNT BE WATCHING a video if I had the manual!!
She does fail step #1: remove charcoal filter before adding vinegar. (charcoal absorbed the vinegar yuk!)
Same thin just happened to me, I agree she should start with that step “remove your filter” agh
Same thing happened to me but I pulled the charcoal filter out as soon as I started cleaning, while I was watching the rest of the video. Also, if she is pouring vinegar in the carafe to measure, it’s not 4 ounces! More like 20 ounces or four CUPS! Other than that, good video!
Same!!!
Thanks for the tutorial! Owner’s manual unclear!! Good job! 🚀
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.
Anyone figure out how much for kcup side?
Ever heard of google? They have PDF manuals online of every coffee maker they have lol
@@dwells3536 google led me here smart one.. If you gonna make a helpful “how to video” we shouldn’t have to google a manual is the point. Videos are generally easier
@@NexxGenDrue this video is titled “How to clean your Cuisinart Coffeemaker.”
Notice how there isn’t a specific model included in the title? That’s because the video isn’t for a specific model. This is just a simple visual demonstration of what to do. Do you want her to say what the measurement amounts are for every single model they have? Or can you not be lazy and take 5 seconds to google your models manual.
I used 1/3 vinegar and 2/3 water. Just marked in the water container so I don't have to keep measuring each time, and Manual? Mind said press 6-10. My Manual was wrong. Hope that helps, a little late but? for K-cup
Worked for me. Some of these comments you folks posted you'd think you bought a Space Shuttle.
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! 😊
You can get the barista part on Amazon. I got a few [6] of them so I don't have to wash them every single day. I just throw them in the dishwasher and do them when i've used up all 6 of mine. I prefer mixing my own coffee blends and the K-cups are getting so pricey.
So glad you made this video. I lost my instructions to my new coffee maker just like yours. Thanks so much!!
You should have mentioned that you need to remove the charcoal filters out of the reservoirs.
Yes... I just discovered that there are charcoal filters in there! Please don't tell the people who have been drinking this coffee. :)
Thank you so much. This was simple and informative.
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!!
You should mention that before you start cleaning the coffee maker that the charcoal filters should be removed.
Agreed, I just followed along and did not remove the charcoal filter :(
If you followed along and left your charcoal filters in, just pull them out and rinse for a few minutes under hot water. I did and there isn't even the slightest trace of vinegar smell.
@@etherealdeal1792 I change my filter every time I clean :)
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!
Cuisinart has the best maintenance presentations. Thank you!!! You saved me a huge headache!
Thank you so much, I was beginning to worry because I could not find out. I appreciate you.
Glad the two button push on the single-cup brewer was mentioned, not mentioned in the manual or any markings on buttons.
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!
Thank you for the great tips, my Cuisinart didn't have any instructions, so thank you very much 💕👏👏😁
Thank you so much! Love the presentation .. Great coffee once again🤩
Thank you for the nice totorial on how to best clean the Cuisinart
Thank you very much :)
Thanks for the tutorial! I could not figure it out from the owners manual for the Keurig side!
Great tutorial. Thanks for the info.
Wipe down the product ! How about remove the charcoal filter before you run vinegar through it! Seriously.
Sal Colletti And of course I forgot to remove it! Let’s hope the final rinse with fresh water cleans it enough to make it drinkable!
She should also Specified if you run 3 cups of fresh water after the vinegar and water mixture or if you have to fill it up three times.
@@ratbastard4u Only if your using tap water, I live in hard water South Texas. We have filters softeners, and Gallons of distilled water no Scale in the tank. Just great tasting water and coffee.
You can clearly see the filters are out of it.
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.
What do I use to clean the clear plastic single-serve tank? it is getting cloudy looking.
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
I believe she means to fill up the reservoir fully 3 times and run it through. Presumably just to flush out any residual vinegar, so that none of the coffee brewed mixes with it! Yuck!
Excellent job describing how to clean this coffee maker. You made it so easy to follow along with.
Straightforward , Thank you!
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
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?
Same place. That’s why you need to run the clean cycle for the vinegar+water to clan the insides, and the brew cycle with just water, to rinse out the vinegar+water mixture.
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...
Well you should watch/read instructions in their entirety, before following.It would have made sense. Lesson learned
Thank you!!!
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?
after cleaning the pot , how long does the clean light stays on? more than an hour??
Ditto
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 stopped using my coffee maker 1.5 months ago and I want it to be thoroughly clean. Thanks so much for the tutorial
Straight and to the point excellent 👌 vid!
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 ❤
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
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.
Saved to Favorites! Awesome video!
Nice video. Glad to see it doesn't require a $50 cleaning kit.
I have had K cups for over 10 years, and I have never descaled 1 time. We don't buy filters when using Distilled water, and I make my own distilled water. Or you can buy it in the store, ANY other kind of water and your going to have to descale.
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.
Does anyone find that the reservoir for the single cup leaks and the pot drips when you pour coffee
@Beth Simon i called them and got a free resoviour for back up
Does it have to be white vinegar. Can I use apple cider vinegar
Me gusta es muy 😮lindo yo lo tengo y es una maravilla felicidades
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?
It’s just a timer, it has no idea of if it’s clean or dirty. I use R.O. Only and the light still comes on. I just reset it and move on. If your using sink water then you should clean it, The red light is just a friendly reminder so you don’t forget and ruin your machine.
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 ☺️👍.
Great instructions
The right side of k-cup water drips while brewing, how to solve?
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?
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please email MarketingCommunications@cuisinart.com so we can better assist you.
Thank you!!
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?
Great video. Are you able to clean both sides at the same time?
nope, if you are cleaning or brewing the carafe side, the single side will not begin to clean. I did not try it in reverse, but assume that will be the same.
How do you turn off the clean light?
My question also
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!
Not sure if I'm missing something, I pressed and held the "Clean" button and it is just flashing for the last 10 mins?
After cleaning I can not get it to stop clean cycle, have unplugged and waited over night and nothing stops it
Thanks you perfect and easy vídeo .
good job Mary!
Perfect for people who like different types of coffee
What if the floatie floats up and then back down and stays down? Which means the 'add water' light stays on.
Thank you!
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.
Thank you so much. That damned red light was driving me nuts. The manual does not tell you how to clean it correctly.
SAME!! Hahaha
I figured it out 😬
How do you get the red light to shut off with the coffee pot (not k cup)????
Go to the manual or search UA-cam for tutorials
does the main coffee side ......take longer than normal? slow water brewing while cleaning?
yes
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 didn't realize I had to pull out the charcoal filter! Lucky the cleaning cycle barely started!
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.
No, it does not need to be empty
Beneficial video and obvious intrusions, thank you!
Do we run the second cycle on clean mode or brew mode?
Hi Marc, When you run the second cycle with fresh water, you should use the brew mode.
Ur awesome !!
I have a feeling I threw away the instructions by accident but I followed this video for tips 😅 thank you!
What if I want to clean the water reservoir for the single serve side? Can it go into the dishwasher as well?
Hi Hope, the single side reservoir cannot go in the dishwasher, but you can clean the single serve side the same way. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact MarketingCommunications@cuisinart.com so we can better assist you.
Thank you -- the manual doesn't really explain cleaning the single serve.
My problem is the warming pad is scratching and seems like it’s made out of cheap metal! This whole machine was “over thought “by their engineers !
Thank you
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.
You wrote: "She says 4 oz at the start, but means 4 ounces."
What are you trying to say? "4 oz" is the same thing as "4 ounces". "Oz" is the abbreviation. She clearly says "4 ounces (oz)". 1:31
When I pushed on the 2 lights the clean light never did flash
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? 😢
I wonder what about the filters and the gizmo she set adide, what to do with that....
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 .
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.
When cleaning the single serve after using vinegar and water, do you run three cups of clear water or three reservoirs of water??
Hi Dianne, run three cups of fresh cold water
@@cuisinart Took me a few minutes but I found it in the comments. Thanks and disregard my original question.
My clean buttons on the machine are both red and won’t get off
So what do you do when the 3 difference coffee size lights blink in unison?
Please email MarketingCommunications@cuisinart.com so we can better assist you.
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.
Yes always
I had the same problem, I figured out u can’t take the reservoir out and fill and then put back. You have to leave it and fill up the reservoir ny filling cups
Every.single.time.i.pour! So annoying! I finally learned to pour over trash can to avoid any clean up.
@@martinf5342 same here, so annoying
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?
My pod doesn't work I cleaned but still don't work ,what can do to fix and work again
After cleaning, the coffee maker doesnt brew and not heating. What to do?
I know that if you are using Tap water descaling is a must, but if you want to save time and not do this cleaning! Use Distilled water every time, we never have to clean except for the K cup side. I take that side apart and clean all the parts. put it all back together, and put the distilled water and have a great cup of coffee. Also I never change the filters, because only clean distilled water is used.
So I’m not forced to used the filter?? And can I used purified water or does it have to be distilled??
@@lissethernandez50 Look I said Distilled water, this doesn't have any minerals in it that causes scaling. Distilled water doesn't have any and no filter is needed. I just bought my wife a $3500. Espresso machine and it uses distilled also.
Distilled water has no minerals it that cause scaling. Purified water also has Minerals in it. This is the third time I have told you to use Distilled. Forget the time wasting video, and the cleaning. I wash the water tank every month with baking soda. Wash it out several times and throw away the filter fill the tank, and enjoy a great cup of coffee.
@@georgemacgillis8523 I was using bottled water and the cleaning light came on about a month ago, after using it for a year. I never thought about distilled water. Thanks!!
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
Instead of dumping the vinegar, use it to kill weeds if they're growing. Great for weeds on your patio or any interlocking pavers.
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?
