We only use Brita water for the coffeemaker bc Fairfax Co water is so hard. Start there Op.

Def affects coffee taste and ginking up the coffee maker.

Descale your machine or get a water softener

Y'all are SO WASTEFUL. Throwing huge hunks of plastic into the landfill every year. I can't believe it. Use everything- cars, TVs, appliances until they are irreparable. Fix them when broken. Our disposal culture is what is broken.

I have a deLonghi from 13 years ago that I got as a wedding gift. I will use it til it breaks. My husband got me a random mr coffee a couple years ago for Christmas because I guess he thought why not replace a nice working coffee machine with an inferior one (??) but I agree with you, coffee brewed in it tastes weird and plastic-y. If my deLonghi ever breaks I will either do a French press or a higher end pot- the cheap ones make gross coffee

We have had the same Technivorm Moccamaster for 7 years.

Get a Technivorm Moccamaster (preferably with stainless steel insulated carafe). It’s the best drip coffeemaker on the market. Though not inexpensive, it comes with a five year warranty. And even after the warranty expires they will still repair it for $59 or so if you send it back to them. When I sent my out of warranty Moccamaster in for a repair with the fee, they couldn’t fix it and so they just sent me a brand new one.

I do cleannit regularly with vinegar. I support problem is because it needs a more thorough cleaning or you need better coffee. But $30-$40 for a machine is really cheap.

+1 but I don’t clean mine with vinegar.
