  • I have flushed my pot before by brewing just water and maybe a couple tablespoons of vinegar. After that, I brew again with just water to make sure all the vinegar is out. What does your carafe look like? Does it need scrubbing too? Please don't be offended--the only reason I ask is because my step-dad absolutely REFUSED to wash his coffee pot. Said it ruined the "flavor." Personally, I keep mine scrubbed. I find that if I let coffee residue build up in the carafe, I start to get a bitter taste. Hope this helps!
  • It is the residue oils that contribute to the bitterness. Soap and water to start and vinegar to take out the hard water deposits.
