Have you cleaned your coffee maker lately?  It’s time to put these handy Coffee Maker Cleaning Instructions to use!

First… let me tell you about my friend called Coffee.  My love and obsession can’t be taken lightly, and it probably has something to do with the fact that I grew up in Seattle.  It was rainy and cold and coffee in my cup was my daily happy!  Then I went on to do an internship one summer working at the Starbucks Headquarters.  Now that was a game changer… my love intensified beyond control!  {I was in good company with fellow obsessive coffee drinkers there, too!}

So anyhoo… if you use your Coffee Maker as much as I do, it probably could use a little cleaning, right?  Here’s another easy kitchen tip for you, using our other friend, Vinegar! 😉  Are you ready?  Here’s what you’ll do…
