Make sure the tank on your coffee maker is cleaned out!!!!!

I drink a cup or two every few months-I wouldn't know a good cup of coffee if it was spilled on my head....

So Cal has very HARD water......A lot of calcium and other stuff that cakes up inside the machine....the heating element inside attracts most of the crud.

I cleaned out the office coffee maker and took out about a cup of sediment from the machine...it was a huge industrial sized Bunn-o-Matic.

The coffee tasted like coffee again!!!

It also helps the water heat faster!!
