How do you clean it?

you can run vinegar through it than run with clear water, instructions are in the booklet, but that only needs to be done maybe once a month or so.

You remove the filter and lift off the container. It has a handle like a bucket. You use this to measure and fill the water. I am not sure if its dishwasher safe. The valve on the actual brew station can be wiped out.

The water chamber is removable and so is the plastic filter holder. You can clean it by hands or in the dishwasher I have done both. There is no need to brew the usual vinegar & water for cleaning. The internal heater is NOT connected to machine. It is a metal plate which heats up by heat transfer. It gets a bit coffee burned month after month. Can use a scrubby pad with baking soda...if one is that anal.

The filter basket & bucket are removable. I'm not sure if they're dishwasher safe, either, but they can be washed with plain soap & water. You have to be really careful with the opening at the bottom where the coffee is dispensed because it's not made well, & will break easily. The rest of the machine is easy to wipe down. I usually spray warm water in the back to rinse it out, but be careful not to get it on the electronic parts. I also run vinegar or CLR through the machine every once in awhile to clear out any deposits.

When it was new I rinsed it with 50/50 water and vinegar to clean it the first time. I usually just put a little dish soap in it now "just a drop or two" fill it half full of water, shake it really good and rinse a few times.

Soap and water is fine. I usually wipe mine down with rubbing alcohol as well.

I've never had to clean mine with anything other than a wet towel, but i suppose windex or alcohol would work best.

You really don't have to clean it but you can use light soap and water mixed and just pour it through and rinse it out thoroughly that's it.

I just rinse it out with hot water and a brush. How else would you do it? Not in the dishwasher for sure.

I wash it with some soap on a rag. Then wipe it out. I've never had a spill so it never got that dirty.

I use water and brush it.. Sometimes I will put a little baking soda on the tip of the brush. Vinegar works too.

I just rinse it off with water after i get done using it. Just make sure all the little pieces of food aren't on it cuz then it takes some scrubbing:)

I wash mine like so: tilt it and keep it looking (bristles) down under the pouring lukewarm water and using shampoo to wash it. Wash out the shampoo thoroughly and then gently squeeze the bristles to get some of the water out, dab it on a clean towel, and just let it air dry.

I always hand wash it along with everything else. Wash it with soap and water and dry it. No problems, love this little thing.

Haven't cleaned ours, but I was thinking of taking it outside and cleaning it with a can of air. Hope that helps

I just put some water in it and a tiny bit of liquid dish soap and then cover the top with my hand and shake vigorously. Then rinse it out with more water to get the soap out. The liquid soap is probably unnecessary, in all actuality.

Well, I clean mine with warm soapy water. To dry it, I insert a bent wire hanger to hold it open and set it on a towel with the mouth facing down.
