Cleaning a YouBrew

[tonym1]

How do you clean your Breville YouBrew? I clean out the grinds chute on a regular basis but havn't worked out what to do about the water side of the machine. I see a message comes up on the screen to descale so what do you need to do to get rid of this message and generally clean out the machine?

Hey Tony, refer to page 27 of the instruction manual. To descale it, pour 4 cups of white vinegar and 8 cups of water into the water chamber. Select the ground strength to Pre-Ground, don't put any coffee in the coffee pot in the middle, take the filter out, select 12 cups carafe and start.
At the end of the cycle, empty the carafe, repeat the same steps again, followed by 3-4 runs of normal water (full 12 cups carafe) to wash off the vinegar's smell.
