If you've gone through all the cleaning steps described in the manual, it seems it might be time for descaling. The procedure is explained in the manual, and you could use something like DeLonghi EcoDecalk: De'Longhi EcoDeCalk Natural Descaler for Coffee MachinesHope this helps.

I would take everything apart in the brewer and the carafe and clean as thoroughly as possible. Pay extra special attention to the carafe lid - make sure the gasket is still fitting snugly and that there are no grounds trapped in the vacuum area.

After first cleaning and descaling the inner workings of the Verismo with this solution, try some white vinegar on all of the surfaces inside the pod receptacle and liquid catch try. Then leave everything disassembled and open to the air for a day or so before putting it together and brewing coffee.

Use baking soda and hot, hot water. Let it sit for 10 minutes or so and then rinse with warm water afterwards.Will be good as new. I use mine for Iced tea and can get quite awful looking if not cleaned thoroughly.

We typically clean it at the end of the day. We have with another machine left it the next day. We just wipe down the glass, surface, etc. we only clean the actual heating pot once in a while. Leaving some residue behind doeant hurt. Hope that helps

Let it cool, then wipe with damp rag. Simple.Here's the manual: http://www.brevilleusa.com/media/mediaappearance/13483/BSG1974XL_IB_A12_LowRes.pdf

To remove burned-on food, fill the pan with enough warm, soapy water to cover the mess and let it sit for an hour. Then put the pan back on the burner and boil the soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes. Let the water cool to the touch, then scrub with a nylon scouring pad. Wash out again with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry. Repeat for stubborn residue. Use a non-abrasive cleanser like Bon Ami Polishing Cleanser or Bar Keepers Friend for general cleaning, stain removal and keeping the cookware shiny as new. Don't use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Although they do an excellent job of removing stuck-on food, all stainless steel cookware makers caution that they will scratch the surface of the cookware. Instead, opt for nylon-net scouring pads, plastic or nylon brushes.

If you get hard water stains, go to an oriental grocery and get some powdered citric acid. Use a teaspoon or two in a liter of water and boil it, swish it and rinse. Your pot will be shiny like new!

Unplug the unit and let it cool really well. Remove the aluminum pot and pour the oil into a clean jar. Wash the pot in warm, sudsy water and dry thoroughly before replacing it into the unit.

You open the top (right) of the coffeemaker and lift the coffee tank and the coffee grounds basket out of the coffeemaker; carry to sink, remove the coffee grounds basked and empty into trash, and pour out any remaining brewed coffee. Wash the basket and tank, dry, and return to the coffeemaker for the next time you make coffee.

A safer way to clean coffee makers is to run a cycle of white vinegar through them instead of water to dissolve the deposits and then to run a few cycles of water to clear the vinegar out. Vinegar is a descaler, just more mild and won't hurt you.

I gave this as a gift to a friend who travels but i would think you could clean with Vinegar & water as you would any coffee or tea pot.hope this helps, I have also used baking powder to clean coffee pots.

We used Dawn to wash the coffee pot and lightly wipe down the outer surface with a damp wash cloth. The interior can be de-limed if you have hard water, but I used another Bunn coffee maker for 10 years without ever needing to de-lime it.

Nope! Leave the collar on. Rinse the pot after all coffee is gone...just swirl with a tad of hot water, but try to keep the collar dry. Be sure to empty and rinse every night before going to bed. If you have left over coffee, put in another cup in the fridge (cover). Always take out filter after brewing. Once a week, I use a tad of dish soap and a bottle brush (like for baby bottles)which will get rid of any left over residue from the week. Rinse thoroughly with hot water, again, keeping the collar dry. Then air dry. It's really a piece of cake. I've used Chemex for over 40 years...wouldn't trade it for anything!! Nope!

Not sure which bottom part of the coffee maker, my wife has been using Siphon coffee maker for at least 30 years and she never has problem to clean both interior or exterior of the bottom pot (I believe that is the bottom part you mentioned), use small amount of dish detergent will clean both. But be careful to hold on the both top and bottom units while you do the cleaning, especially the top unit, my wife is a very careful person but she had broken at least 6 of them so far, and just 1 of the bottom so she is holding 5 or 6 unused bottom units for spares in case it breaks in future.
