Note that tap water contains quite a lot of calcium and magnesium salts, which form scale on the tank. Filters cannot cope with these minerals.
Here's how to clean your coffee maker using citric acid.

- Prepare a solution: dissolve 30 grams of citric acid in 1 liter of water.
- We wash the water tank, put it back in place and pour the prepared solution into it.
- We set the coffee making mode and turn on the coffee maker.
- When the liquid is used up, rinse the tank again and repeat the procedure.
