- 50/50 mix of water/distilled white vinegar. (2 cups/2 cups, if you have the capacity.) You can also purchase special cleaners, but vinegar works really well.
- If it is a drip coffee maker, run all of it through. If it is an espresso machine, run half through the espresso maker and half through the steam wand.
- Rinse by running water through the machine using the same amount and process used to clean. (4 cups.)
- Then, rinse again.

Also, some use distilled water to avoid the build-up of minerals in their machines. A good water filter works well, if you are not interested in using distilled water.



Speaking of vinegar as a cleander, here are other uses.]]> FAQ http://www.esdesert.com/index.php?itemid=42 Mon, 23 Oct 2006 09:46:54 -0700 <![CDATA[MLS - Real Estate in the Desert]]> http://www.esdesert.com/index.php?itemid=41

Went to Trans Medic Transmission (Trans-medic? Transmedic?) in Cathedral City (68750 Ramon Road) and was not happy with their work or their customer service. They broke a part that was not broken when the car was brought in! The car works, it just sounds like there are rocks in the tranny. The owner has never returned a phone call and he doesn't know what I am calling about, or did he know...

Whatever it is, there are too many other shops out there. I will not be forking over anymore cash to these guys. For transmission work in the future, I will try...

Any ideas?

Make sure the irrigation is working, because the plants will be crying for water soon.
