I give this 5 stars because the wife purchased a name brand cleaner and used it the other day so I thought well lets see how clean it really is, so I tried this and WOW!!! it was amazing the first full pot of water came out BLACK as if I brewed coffee but it was just tap water and then I ran a second pot of tap water through it and it came out BLACK my gosh the name brand cleaner did nothing so after the fourth pot of water it came out clear. I decided to repeat the cleaning process and man it made so much difference. Now it only take 5 minutes to make a full pot of coffee where as before it took almost 30 minutes Thanks for posting this cleaning method I will use it weekly from now on TWO THUMBS UP!!!

    this worked great for my coffee maker however i put it only in the brew basket itself & let it sit in the about 10 minutes without the coffee pot in place & then poured a full coffee pot full of water to brew & it got out all the yucky out of the basket..( here is a tip..if you do put this through your coffee pot like the directions say & it becomes cloged, take the hose off the hose holder in the water holder only & not from the brew basket..fill halfway with water & turn it on too brew then off..do this several times.. this allows water to to go down the input hole & help the bakings soda to absorb water & will help realease the baking soda.. it will take awhile..be sure to put a small towel over the top of the coffee pot to keep water from spattering everywhere.. i learned this the hard way when it clogged my coffee pot when following the directions) then i ran a coffee pot half of hot water & & the 1/4 cup to making sure it was dissolved enough to run through again then followed thru with two full pots of clean water to rinse out...

    WOW! This really does work. I ran only one clean pitcher of water through this after the baking soda. I thought that the next batch of coffee after this would taste a little off, but it was really great and not bitter.
