The best way to clean a coffee maker is using vinegar and water. All you do is mix a cup of vinegar to two cups of water and add to the part you usually put water in when making coffee. Use 2 cups of vinegar if you never cleaned your coffeemaker. Let this run through your coffee maker.

You can clean the pot like you would clean dishes. A good way to clean the inside of the machine is to mix vinegar with water. You run that through your coffee maker as if you were making coffee. To be sure your coffee doesn't taste like vinegar just run a batch of water through a few times.

You should run vinegar though the pot once or twice. After that you will want to clear it with water until the smell goes away. I have always found this to be the best way to clean the coffee pot. Be sure to get all the vinegar out or you will have vinegar flavored coffee.
