Coffee

My fancy-schmancy drip machine has a removable water tank, filter basket and filter basket holder. Once every two weeks (on payday, so I remember it), I wash all these plastic pieces plus the thermal carafe and carafe lid in the top rack of the dishwasher.

I run lye through every couple weeks. That nukes everything pretty well.

any more I usually just one of those plastic cone with paper filter things.   Does that make me  a Philistine?

Lye doesn't remove hard water scale. White vinegar does. It also kills mold and bacteria.

I use an eternal mesh basket filter. Got tired of running out of paper.

I use the vinegar too. First you clean with the base, then the acid. A classic RCA clean, just like cleaning silicon waters.

"More guns, cameras, small boys, and coffeepots have been ruined by excessive cleaning than any other single cause."

Terry said that.
