A good cleaning method is to mix it with water, add the mixture to the machine’s tank and start the appliance as if you were making coffee, but without inserting capsules or coffee. Repeat the operation two or three times, rinse the tank and pass only clean water through the system to eliminate the vinegar residues.
You can do the same operation using baking soda, another very effective remedy for eliminating the bag. In this case, you will have to dissolve two tablespoons of baking soda in a liter of water and then proceed in the same way, pouring the solution into the tank and starting the dispensing cycle. At the end, as in the case of vinegar, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Some coffee machines have removable components, for example the filter holder or the water tank. In this case, you can remove these parts and wash them thoroughly with hot water and neutral soap, or always with vinegar or baking soda-based compounds. You can also use a soft-bristled toothbrush when the machine is disassembled to clean the most difficult to reach areas.
