Coffee Maker - Cleaning with Vinegar
Over time, mineral deposits from the water you use, build up and clog your coffee maker.Cleaning coffee makers with vinegar once a month will dissolve these deposits and will also allow you to wipe clean accumulated coffee stains.

By cleaning your coffee maker regularly, you will not only get rid of clogging mineral deposits, you will also eliminate coffee oils that can accumulate inside your coffee maker and become rancid.
There is no doubt about it, a clean coffee maker will produce a better tasting coffee!
Your coffee maker may be making watery coffee due to a few reasons, such as using too much water, not enough coffee grounds, or a clogged filter. Adjusting the coffee-to-water ratio and ensuring the filter is clean can help improve the strength of your coffee.
You will need 7 tablespoons of coffee for a 14 cup coffee maker. That is just over 2 ounces of ground coffee. Remember to use fresh clean cold water. Start with a clean coffee carafe for the best coffee as residual oils from the previous brew can taint the flavour.
A glass carafe is better to use. In a glass carafe you can see how much coffee is left and is much easier to clean.

For a 100-cup coffee maker, you should use about 1 pound (16 ounces) of coffee grounds.
DO NOT USE THAT MUCH VINEGAR! Put a tiny bit of vinegar in the carafe and fill carafe the rest of the way with water. Run that vinegar/water through machine. Using another container, fill machine with plain water and run that through. Repeat until the vinegar taste is gone. If you do not run lots of plain water through the machine after, your coffee will taste like...um...disgusting! Also, use a spell-checker before improving this posting. ************** To clean hard water deposits from a coffee maker use distilled white vinegar. You may need to use as much as a gallon if the scale buildup is really bad. Fill clean coffee pot one half full of vinegar and run through machine as if making coffee. Repeat this process several times using fresh vinegar until it comes out clear. Do this once a week and your maker will work much better. ************** Use citric acid or LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE instead of vinegar. It cleans just as well but doesn't leave the funky odor that vinegar does. You can run enough water to get rid of the vinegar taste, but the odor will linger for days or weeks. Much better to use lemon juice concentrate (no pulp!!) or one of the commercial products like the one available from Starbucks.
