"A freshly brewed cup of coffee should be a delight - rich, aromatic, and tasting like nothing but coffee beans. If your morning cup of joe instead has an off taste or musty smell, it could be a sign that your machine is harboring mold. The thought of anything growing inside your coffee maker might make you want to throw it into the trash, but it's an easy thing to fix, and it won't even require harsh chemicals."
"Fill the reservoir with half distilled vinegar and half hot water, then start a brewing cycle. Stop the brew halfway and leave the solution to sit for 30 minutes before continuing. Discard the solution, then run two cycles with hot water only to remove the vinegar residue. While vinegar is not a true disinfectant, it has antifungal and antibacterial properties that kill most household molds."
Fresh coffee can taste musty when mold grows inside a coffee maker. Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water and dry before reassembling. Clean internal components by filling the reservoir with equal parts distilled vinegar and hot water, start a brew, stop halfway and let sit 30 minutes, then finish the brew. Discard and run two hot-water cycles to remove vinegar. Vinegar is not a true disinfectant but has antifungal and antibacterial properties that kill most household molds. Nespresso machines should use a descaling kit per the manual rather than vinegar to avoid damage and warranty issues. Daily cleaning prevents mold.
