Anyone had to wash the carrier? Ours got soaked by coffee. Except for stain it's fine but I'm afraid ti wash it.

I have not washed mine but I would feel comfortable hand washing it or put it in a laundry bag and wash on delicate cycle. Should be fine. Good luck.

I haven't washed mine, but if it survived the coffee soaking, it should survive a hand soak and wash. I would give it a try.

I put mine through the dishwasher every so often and it comes out like new. I do use milk in both coffee and tea, hence little problem of staining.

I don't know. Never have. I've never even washed mine LOL! I just grind dry coffee in it and don't worry about cleaning it. I don't think I'd chance it though, if your dishwasher water gets really hot.

I ran a cycle of water through mine before I used it. Just to rinse it out. Coffee tastes great.

We didn't have that issue... with the orange staining. We love the set and everything washed well on delicate cycle... With the milk we just spot cleaned it.

I had success washing this bed after my friends dog got it dirty. I used the delicate cycle and used cold water. Also put it on the dryer without any problems. I recommend this bed :)

I have the paloma (tan), and it's in great shape after 19 months of abuse. We're don't clean spills immediately (it can wait until after the meal), and haven't seen any staining.

was told by Dolce Gusto customer service that we should never leave water in the tank, in other words, just put enough water to brew coffee and then remove tank, empty it and replace. Mine's been taken away today and I won't be seeing it for nearly a month. Hope they can fix problem as I have a large stock of coffee that cost me a lot of money.

Same advice/comment as Mom in San Jose! It really does not need a serious "washing" as the brewing coffee never comes in contact with it.

A couple rinses of the plunger and container to get rid of the coffee grounds is obviously required. I also recommend a quick wipe of the inside of the container afterwards to ensure that there is no coffee stains or "rings" remaining.

I put the whole carrier in an old fashioned top loading washer. I separated the pad and cover and actual carrier and it all washed up great. I washed the carrier on gentle and then let everyone air dry.

I put mine in the dishwasher for about six months. Just too much work, with all the other non-dishwasher-safe junk to wash. It was perfect but then gradually a screw got loose and the handle got slightly loose and then there was a microscopic leak in the bottom. So I got a new one, don't want to take any chances. It's a drag to have to clean it ( I have big hands and have to put on dishwashing gloves) but it's worth it, since it's such a cool coffee mug. I really do love it. The travel one, unfortunately, has a plastic lip. Not so good....

I don't recall what the packaging stated, but what has worked for me is simply to rub the grime off with a DRY washcloth. Then, wash the lid in hot, soapy water. I haven't been able to rid the inside of the coffee stains, but that's not a big concern for me and the outside of the lid looks great.

I have spot cleaned it and the stain came right out. For the price, I would try to wash it in a front load washer on the gentle cycle.

Hmmm I haven't notice that to be a problem. I don't really soak it or run it through the dishwasher. I just get a soapy dishrag and wash it and rinse it right away.

Wow, I did not have this problem with mine at all. If washing with hot water and regular dish detergent doesn't do the trick, I'd suggest soaking it in a solution of white vinegar and cool water (1:1), then washing again.

If you just got it, did you run a cycle of just water through before brewing coffee? It not, out if you've had it for a while, I'd get some coffee Brewer cleaner (usually sold near the filters in the store) and follow the instructions on that product to clean it out.
