How to Clean a Gevalia Coffee Maker

Gevalia is known for their imported coffee and high-end coffee makers.

1. Unplug the coffee maker.

2. Dampen a clean, soft cloth. Wipe the entire outside of the coffee maker with it.

3. Rinse the glass carafe or ceramic mug with warm, soapy water. Do not stick anything inside the container, including your hand, as that might break it.

4. Wash the filter basket with warm, soapy water. You also can put it in the top rack of your dishwasher.

5. Scrub stains that won't come out with a plastic or nylon pad and a non-abrasive cleaner.
