Did you run vinegar through the machine to clean it?

Is your refrigerator running?

Is the setup for the sequel to "Maximum Overdrive"?

I run a pot of vinegar, then 3-4 pots of clear water after. First time I did the vinegar only ran one pot through and it was not enough..had some lingering vinegar taste. Look for residue stuck to the inside of the water chamber as well.

How old is the coffee maker?Also, the politically correct term is "black" or "African American" water.

Get a moka pot.
Is there a rubber washer of any kind? Anything rubber?
Sometimes these collect grime and other times they alter (shrink, enlarge, little holes, warp) so that the coffee doesn't drip but comes out far more quickly.
A teaspoon of bleach in a carafe's worth of water can clean it out good also. I hate white vinegar and somehow apple cider vinegar is tolerable. For anything, ya gotta run just water through it a few times or it has a bitter after taste.
A million years ago, a girl I was with pointed out to me I missed the taste of the old stained coffeeness. She added a tablespoon of one of those cheap brick coffees to my regular coffee and I was ummm how'd you fix that? Every few years, I swear I clean the taste right out of my coffeemaker and I redo that trick. I guess a hint of "yuck" is what I'm used to

Throw it out and get a programmable thermostat.

How has her sandwich making been lately? Could be a systemic thing.

Interesting.
I will check that out.
I don't have a carafe type of coffee maker, I have a brew station, the one year old version of this.

If it's not scaling, most likely guess is that the heating element isn't what it once was. There's a pretty easy way to check. Just get a simple pour over brewer (Malita does a plastic one for like 3 bucks). Using the same coffee, put a cup's worth in a #2 filter in the Malita and pour over water that's just been taken off the boil for 30 seconds to a minute to brew a cup. Still taste like ###? Congrats, your coffee maker is fine. Taste better? Either replace the coffee maker or learn how to make your coffee a more low-fi way.

Merry Christmas, GB.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday, and a miserable late Sunday afternoon.
