This is something you are supposed to do to anyway to limit the lead content.

I just bought a gallon of Poland Spring Water. Kathie in South Portland, Maine. I also just did laundry and I am so tired of all my whites being ruined/ I now have a tan wardrobe. I love white clothes and towels but can't get them here in South Portland, Maine. RE: Cloudy Coffee Post by camo_angels (683) | (03/08/2006) Profile | Contact I have sediment built up in mine, between well water in AK, Wichita KS water, and all that, and after 4 years it is finally sluggish (I do vinegar once a month) And I notice a difference when they chlorinate the water once a month, in taste and cloudiness. Check your city's schedule? I would suggest switching to bottled/filtered water...I need to get a new coffee maker because mine is just too fargone! RE: Cloudy Coffee Post by janp22 (1) | (03/06/2006) Contact My friend at the city water department said that sometimes air gets into the water and makes it cloudy.Check about your water. Also, making large batches of tea at work (food service) with hot water, don't put in the ice until the cold water has gone in. That will make it cloudy.

My cousin lives in Westbrook and has had that problem, they installed a water purifier to the faucet and that helped. We lived in Standish before moving to Tennessee and once in a while we had that problem when there was to much clorine. RE: Cloudy Coffee Post by kathleen48 (20) | (03/06/2006) Profile | Contact I tried the vinegar. I also do that every few months. Still cloudy coffee. RE: Cloudy Coffee Post by Madelynnsmama (166) | (03/05/2006) Profile | Contact Hmm .. my first thought is there may be limescale or mineral build up on the inside of the coffee maker. Try brewing a pot of half white vinegar and half water followed by a couple pot of plain water to remove the vinegar smell. It will clean the insides out and hopefully whatever is causing your coffee to be cloudy. I usually do this every couple of months and ours is used every day. Just a warning though .. you're kitchen will smell like pickles! I usually just crack the window when it's cold outside! Good Luck! Rebekah
