I'll be honest, 10% of the views are just me re-watching because I keep forgetting how to do this.
I think it’s 50%… Every two months I have to keep coming to this video
@@bigfinewomanful hahahahh I’m glad I’m not the only one!!
Me too lol!
yeah... about 15 of them are from me!!
I too am a part of this rewatchers club 😂
In short:
1. Put 4 cups white vinegar where water goes
2. Put in a filter
3. Press SELECT until goes to CLEAN
4. Process will take about an hour
5. When done, throw out filter and vinegar
6. Do one cycle with clean water to rinse
You're welcome.
What’s the point of putting the filter in there?
petruccifan38 I believe otherwise vinegar would flow through too fast
Joe Wein too fast? Lmao the paper doesn’t slow down the speed at which it passes. All it’s supposed to do is stop coffee grounds from getting into the pot. There’s gotta be another reason for that. Or probably no reason at all and they’re just making me waste a coffee filter 😂
@@Coolwater83 The filter absorbs some of the viengar and slows the passthrough. Joe is correct
@@Coolwater83 the filter will catch calcified sediments partially dissolved/dislodged from tubing as it vinegar passes through.
Corona virus got me cleaning my coffee machine
Same here dude. Got me out here buying white vinegar when I never buy that lol
Old gross coffee grounds got me cleaning my coffee machine
@@dom8190 Same bro
I don't know why but I started laughing out loud when I read these comments.... the virus has changed us.
Nasty-tasting coffee got me cleaning mine.Attn: VINEGER DOESN'T WORK. Helps a TINY BIT but i didn't get it ALL.
I'll never go with another brand of coffee makers. The Mr. Coffee one I've had has lasted me for so long and they made this helpful video. Can't get better
My cleaning light on my Coffee maker just came on & I couldn’t find the directions to clean it. Thanks for having this available! I had no idea it cleaned by itself!
Where is the cleaning light?
Look at all you fancy people with your coffee pots that have clean cycles. lol Y'all got my $15 coffee pot beat.
“You should clean the carafe after each use”? Hahahahahaha
Very easy to use and love the ease of versatility between full pot or single pods
Thank you my millennial ass couldn't figure it out
My millennial ass just buys a new one every time it gets dirty.
Before I saw this, I ran a mixture of 4 cups vinegar and 6 cups and turned it off. Came back about 2 hours later and it was still clogged. Turned it off again and let it sit for another hour. Finally started to push that gunk through. Paper filter in the basket looked nasty! Now going to try the method on here and see if anymore of that gunk shows up.
If anyone thinks one carafe of water will get rid of the vinegar smell and taste, you're sadly mistaken. Run an extra 2-3 (maybe 4) through the coffee maker..
Thanks!
😮SERIOUSLY ❓‼️🙄Buy another one …OMG !!
Great video thank you , I'll be saving this. 😊
First time I cleaned my Mr Coffee in like... oh... six years since I bought it. Hope this works! :)
Just fyi - 4:35 - you need to specify whether Mr Coffee needs to be on the clean cycle again with the straight water, or brew cycle. I went with brew.
The woman says "Begin brewing". Literally at 4:35-4:36. lol
Thank you for providing this video and information.
How did you get the lid off the carafe so easily? Mine doesn't want to come off and I am afraid I will break it trying to remove it. It's a bit of a pain trying to wash the carafe with the lid attached.
Excellent. Thanks!
Here I go trying to relearn to cleaning Mr Coffee, never delete this video as I am passing it on to my kids to review😅😅
cleaning a coffee maker often ls like scrubbing a cast iron pan after every use
Thank you for thus video. Very helpful.👍👍
I’m having so much anxiety trying to figure this out and do this lol for the first time 😂😂!!!
😮SERIOUSLY ❓‼️🙄
I have the exact model of the one on the left but white. Unfortunately the small bulb inside the on switch went out and I really want to change it.
The clean light is supposed to be solid when cleaning?
Mine only did green brew or blinking red clean indicator.
I held the select button until it beeped three times while blinking red, but no other reaction.
Trying a fourth time with manually starting and stopping during a half hour process...
😊omg perfect and easy simple instructions for my manual Mr. Coffee machine 😃👍🏼thank you ‼️
Would this be a good laptop for video editing for 4k videos without lagging?
This is helpful. The manual doesn't say to use the "clean" cycle, just to brew 3 cups of vinegar. For all I knew, the red "clean" light was only there to blink when it needed cleaning-no indication that "clean" is a cycle. I had to unplug the machine to get the red light to stop blinking, after following the instructions and brewing 2 cycles of vinegar and 1 of water. But I'll do it right next time.
Also, it's a pain to change the "Delay Brew" time. Maybe you could make a button to adjust the hour forward or back, instead of having to only go forward minute-by-minute.
Thank you for the video.
Thank you the video. Ian goingtocleanmy mr Coff e e this week .🟠0️⃣😐🤫
Thank You!
this was helpful
My Mr. Coffee has a small filter in the water reservoir. Do I remove that one also?
I like how she can't say regularly.
Me too!!! First thing I noticed made me laugh
So that litte thing that it comes out? Are you suppose to put it back when it turn it on?
Think you
awesome
Cleaning auto maker starts at 3:04
Thank You!!!
Does this lesson apply to the 4cup counterpart?
No matter the model you have, cleaning your coffee maker's carafe, filter and filter basket is done the same way as shown in this video!
@@mrcoffee I love my MR COFFEE MAKER SO far so good 4 yrs going strong.
Programmable Mr Coffee starts at 3:10. Your welcome
I kept the filter thing in the machine. It still cleaned it.
What model is the programmable one?
Following I have the same one but don’t know the model
Thank you so much! I threw away the instructions shortly after purchasing and would not have known to use white vinegar.
How often should you clean the coffee maker with vinegar?
Once a month
Says it right on the lid!
@@pamsmith7369 not on mine😅
I thought it was half water half vinegar that's poured in?
After the vinegar cycle, for the water cycle, would you have to use clean paper filter or should it be done without it?
You do not need to use a new paper filter for the water cycle!
No u don't need paper filters
Mr. Coffee why do you need to use any paper filters for the cleaning process?
Either way is fine
No half and half mixture?
The water doesn't get sucked up. How do I trouble shoot?
Hi i have a question should i use water filters if i use Bottled water for my coffee?
You mean the paper filters? Yeah.
@@korovabozha4963 thank you
I use cleaning vinegar, we have VERY hard water. And i do the cleaning about 3x. U wouldn't believe the gross stuff that comes out!
I need someone to explain to me what is the point of putting that empty filter in the filter basket. Seems pointless to me. Why can’t you just run the vinegar without the paper filter there?
Maybe to slow the amount of liquid going into the pot? Can't really see any other purpose tbh
The filter will catch any loosened gunk in the water feed line before it clogs the "sneak-a-cup" mechanism. Sometimes, people run previously-brewed coffee through the machine to reheat it, or there may be calcium buildup from hard water in there.
cycle white vinegar through your coffee maker followed by water to flush out the vinegar
The Carafe lid gets disgustingly contaminated with unhealthy looking gunk. How do you take it apart to clean it?
Manual Mr. Coffee cleaning:
1. Fill the carafe to the four cup line with undiluted white household vinegar
2. Lift the lid and pour the vinegar into the water reservoir of the coffee maker
3. Place a filter into the removable filter basked and close the lid
4. Place the empty carafe on the warming plate
5. Turn it to on and let 3 cups flow through
6. Let stand for 30 mins
7. Then turn it on again to let the remaining vinegar
8. when complete, discard the vinegar solution and rinse the carafe with clean water
9. Remove the filter
10. Pour carafe full of clean fresh water into the coffee maker and turn it on
11. Repeat until vinegar order is no long noticeable
I swear I'm tempted to just go buy coffee from the starbucks. This is so inconvenient.
Can I used diluted vinegar instead undiluted?
Not as strong but better than nothing for sure
3:04 Cleaning Programmable Coffee Maker
1. Pour 4 cups of vinegar, turn clean cycle on.
After the clean cycle is done (45-60mins):
2. Rinse filter and carafe.
3. To clear of vinegar scent, fill coffee maker with fresh clean water and turn on coffee maker. Repeat again if needed.
And voila!
im not pouring vinegar in my coffee maker. thanks for the tip though
Mine is really dusty! Will this work??
Put the entire unit into the swimming pool for 1 hour.
Clean it.
Elbow grease and vinegar.
How much vinegar if I only have a 4 cup coffee maker?
4 cups
@Gary R The instruction manual for the 4 cup coffee maker says to use 4 cups of undiluted vinegar. Your assumptions are wrong, Gary.
Gary R
because this is a cleaning process. Not a recipe. She is also de-scaling her coffee maker. So in my opinion, 4 cups of vinegar can be used as well. ❤️
I clean my carafe regularly with the sink
I have done this several times today, but the red Clean light will not go off!
What did you do after im going trough the same
eduardo diaz I never got it to work right! It went in the trash today. I'm using my $10 coffee maker from Walmart now.
Before watching this video, I cleaned my programmable Mr Coffee the old fashioned way, using the first (manual) method. To get the light to go off, I unplugged for a minute or two, then plugged it back in.
I always wanted to know how to clean one of those coffee pots that cleaned themselves! Lol! They are a pain in the butt!!!
Same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does it matter that the vinegar is nondiluted?
It won’t remove hard water buildup if it’s diluted.
my machine is dropping black stuff out of it and this didnt help what should i do?
Major omissions (on my programmable at least): after 80 cycles the clean light will blink and I can't brew any more coffee unless I unplug it for at least 60 seconds. Also, I can't use the clean cycle until I unplug it for at least 60 seconds. So to clean the unit I must unplug it and then re-program it. So I'm forced to clean it at what might be an inconvenient time for me, and I'm forced to unplug and reprogram it no matter what. Poor design!
This is a constant issue. This is the third time THIS year I've had to rebuy your Mr. Coffee coffee pot! There's obviously something going on with this brand. I'm so tired of waking up to my brand new coffee pot not working!
Buy another brand...
Oh no! Please give us a call at 1-800-672-6333 so we can see how we can help.
I've had Mr coffee for 4 yrs still work's like brand new.🤗
My model is from 2003 and still works fine. I doubt anyone ever cleaned it even once during that 17 year span so I look forward to doing this method and tasting the difference!
bro I've had the same makers, at work, home, job sites for 7 years mr coffee is where it's at
I wonder why it's necessary to put a paper filter in.
Can I use Apple cider vinegar?
Haha. I keep forgetting also
The part that needs cleaning most is the water tank before running though the machine. There is where scum WILL build up. How to you clean that part thoroughly?
Toothbrush
I've been saying carafe incorrectly for so long lol.
Is there anyway to get spilt coffee grind out of the water reservoir?
Sure. I whole the coffee maker upside down over the sink, and spray water up into the chamber. That won't get the electrical contents wet.
Oops. I hold the coffee maker ...
Anyone else have this problem? After cleaning my coffee maker with water and vinegar, the next week or so when i brew coffee it has a plasticy taste to the coffee. It makes me really concerned that the coffee maker plastic isn't safe to use at all. 👀
I'd avoid over cleaning. Run a few more cycles thru it, maybe try distilled water. It should absorb extra things from inside. A good coffee maker should have a built up layer of coffee seasoning.😉
😲SERIOUSLY ❓‼️just buy a new one 🙄😄‼️
aw hell, Ive had my coffee maker (manual) for over 12 yrs now, never cleaned the dam thing.... I only rinse the coffee pot and where you put the filter... yup, just plain water; in fact, I kinda like the flavor, just the way it is... besides all that, I drink my coffee, just like I did, when I was in the service....BLACK, no sugar, no cream... drink it black and you'll really know what it is to drink coffee. lol, enjoy a cup of black joe
Has anyone died from drinking from your coffee maker? If not we good for another 11 years 💪🏻
Me too !! My daughter bought my Mr Coffee yesterday ago and I don’t remember ever cleaning it. Maybe, when I was younger, but now I have not thought about cleaning it. Thank you for your service, and I too drink my coffee Black.
They used to call it “duck soup” I think in the 20s.
No cream or sugar.
I’m 63. I saw that reference in a movie with Tom Hanks. 😃☕️ salute
Followed all directions but still not cleaning even though the red light is on🤦♀️🤦♀️
My mr coffee pot takes 20 mins to brew. Why is that?
Hi Andrew! If you are experiencing issues with your machine, please give us a call at 1-800-672-6333
I use molasses
Lol 😂
My coffee maker includes a permanent filter
I buy 3 coffe pots a year. They are all mr coffe brands. I clean them with vinegar and still have the same problem. Right now it takes 30 minutes to finish a pot of coffee. It is crazy.
If you only use distilled water this won’t happen::
Vinegar should still be used as it will help kill bacteria that grows in wet dark places such as coffee makers.
I don’t run water through it at the end because the hard water would just dirty the lines again. I just drink vinegary tasting coffee on the next cup. Eventually the vinegary taste goes away
LOL
Maybe use distilled
gotta let it dry out afterwards before you brew coffee again lol
That’s really stupid
🙄OH BROTHER 😅‼️
That’s called a carafe? Not a coffee pot?
Oh great, another youtube video that takes forever to get to the point.
5:00 unnecessary lengthy
I think you ruined it more thanks😂
Also, be sure to never plug in when in the bathtub or taking a shower
Oh...should I stop running Draino through my coffee maker???
Seriously 🙄❓‼️
I just cleaned my 4 cup mr. Coffee with one part bleach to three parts water. I then brewed clean water through the machine six times in order to flush all remains of bleach. It worked great! Everything is now sanitized and the machine runs much faster and quieter. I had no choice but to clean it that way. I went out of town for a month and realized that I had forgot to empty a full basket of used grinds. I recommend using bleach and doing lots of flushing.
Clorax insane not good for coffee maker vineger is natural& the way to secure cleaning coffee maker chlorine is hard chemicals my opinion.
Chlorine is very bad for coffee makers my opinion stick with vineger it's better & natural no harsh chemicals for CM.
Insane chlorine heck noooo.
Doesn’t work.
I can't hear the narrator your music is TOO LOUD!
Hi Dale. We are so sorry that you are having difficulty hearing the information. You can find our information sheet with details here: www.mrcoffee.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-mr-coffee-Library/default/dwc9769563/instruction-manuals/How%20To%20Clean%20-%20Manual-small.pdf
I can’t hear you over the music
The music isn't too loud at all. Don't know what you're talking about.
After cleaning successfully , look into buying hearing aids 🤣
BBBONNNGGG
Ahem.....Not all your programmable coffee makers are the or use the same procedure. Useless video for other models.
Hence why she said "if you have a programmable coffee maker with clean cycle" the other programmable coffee makers you would use the method for manual coffee makers
In the old days, you'd get in trouble for cleaning the coffee pot... Washing the seasoning out
🤮
"Clean" cycle won't start. Water will not "brew" through.
Hi! We're so sorry to hear this. Please give us a call at 1-800-672-6333 so we can see how we can help.
@@mrcoffee I have the stainless steel Mr. coffee with the auto clean you have shown in this video. I can’t get the clean cycle to shut off after cleaning it. Am I missing a step? I haven’t even used it that much and I enjoy this model.
Is vinegar a proven cleaner and purifier? Or is it a homeopathic myth? Seems like there would be a science based cleaning liquid. I used to be into keurig type brewers as I'm a bachelor. But I learned that it's best to use a paper filter to lower cholesterol. Also, I want more than just one cup. I was shocked at how the newer regular coffee makers were much faster than before. And a keurig type is a sob to clean. I want to actually take a coffee maker apart and run pipe cleaner through the tubes and soak in bleach and get it truly clean. Can you make a coffee maker that can be undone easily with clear view of the tubing inside so you can start to see the nastiness build up? It would sell like crazy. Thanks
You are way too over anxious about this. Just use vinegar and you will be fine. No need to disassemble the coffee maker to clean it.
LMAO
There's more info about this on google, but basically the cleaning hacks using vinegar or baking soda work because their ph/acidity disrupts any "dirt" enough to remove it.
I'd really not advise bleach. It's not good to injest, obviously. Also it seems like it could damage the plastic. Vinegar is more than enough to clean a Coffee maker.
Vinegar is a weak acid. Hard water leaves calcium carbonate crust on and in all surfaces. Vinegar dissolves these built up stains and unclogs the machine. Also, vinegar an all-purpose cleaner for any glassware!
Didn’t you take simple chemistry in high school?
CRREO QUE TE VI EN ROBLOX
It's not a carafe; it's a decanter.
Shut up and just make me a cup of coffee !!!
Please do educate we commoners with more of your wise observations. I can only hope that someday I will count myself as learned as you.
How to clean the coffee maker in one easy step ! # 1 . Throw the dam thing in the trash can so hard that any debris or calcium deposits are dislodged .
Mr Coffee coffee makers are trash everyone we've ever purchased lasted only a few months past the warranty date. We never even get to the amount of pots brewed to warrant the cleaning which is approximately 300 pots we decided with the last one to clean after 100 pots and it still didn't add any life to the maker. A Bunn, Cuisinart, or just about any manufacturer will last longer than a Mr. Coffee brewer. We no longer use the brand and suggest to others not to as well.
I don't like the voice of the narrator. You should get rid of her and replace her with a guy who knows how to real command in his voice.
