Everyone says to use vinegar for cleaning your coffee maker. I tried it and my coffee tasted awful for a month.

I ran a full cycle with white vinegar and water like all the guides say. Did the rinse cycle twice after. The next morning, my coffee had a weird sour taste. I thought it was the beans, so I switched brands. Still bad. It took over 30 pots of coffee, about three weeks, for that vinegar taste to finally go away. I learned that sometimes the 'simple' hack creates a new problem. Has anyone found a better way to clean a machine without ruining the flavor?

Ugh, same thing happened to me! I had to run so much plain water through mine to finally get rid of that nasty taste.
