So, I put 3 tablespoons of baking soda in the carafe with 12 cups of cold water and ran it through the Mr. Coffee. I then ran 3 cycles of plain water through the machine. Guess what, my machine runs like new. The coffee (which had begun to taste bitter) is just as good as it was the day I bough the machine. So, save yourselves some money and use plain, old, cooking baking soda instead of paying $4.99 for the sodium carbonate.

All you have to do is sprinkle a liberal amount on the burnt parts and fill with water and put it on the cooktop to boil. Leave it to boil for at least 10 minutes and then scrub off the burnt offerings. It usually works for me unless it is beyond redemption.
