How do I get rid of the plastic taste of a new coffee maker?
I recently purchased a new coffee maker and even after cleaning it multiple times with hot, soapy water, the coffee still has a plastic taste to it. How long does it take to get rid of this taste and what can I do to speed up the process? Thanks in advance!

very very easy! fill the coffee maker with 2/3 cold water and 1/3 vinegar. Let it run it’s cycle. dump water + vinegar. Do this AGAIN with same amounts of fresh mixture (2/3 cold water, 1/3 vinegar. Let it run it’s cylce, dump mixture. Now run the coffee maker with ONLY cold water. This will rinse any residue.
Keep running it without any coffee. Over and over let it rin through its cycle until the plastic flavor is gone.
hmm maybe add some bi-carb soda to water and let it run through? that usually seems to clean most things, also try using table salt.
good luck, there’s almost nothing as a sad as a ruined cup of coffee :(
Mix equal parts water to vinegar, and run the coffee maker through a cycle or two.
i have never had that problem before but maybe try putting some baking soda in a filter and then let hot water/vinger run through … if it is persistant…if you still have the receipt perhaps just return it and see about a new one.
vinegar has already been suggested. You could also try a solution of baking soda.
