Vinegar is your least expensive choice. There are packaged powders & liquid cleaners. Most stores stock them by the coffee filters and/or the kitchen cleaning chemicals. What you can use varies with the kind of coffee maker and which part you are cleaning. I have used Lime Away or CLR to clean the glass carafe of hard water film accumulation and throughly rinse after. Hot sudy water and a little rubbing removes the accumulated brown coffee oil film on the carafe as well.

1. Dissolve 1 oz of citric acid in 4 cups of hot water.
2. Add 4 cups of cold water to the solution and pour the solution into the water chamber.
3. Turn on your coffee maker (without the filter) and let about half of the water solution run through the machine.
4. Stop the machine and let it sit for 15 minutes.
5. Start it up again, and let the rest of the cleaning solution run through the machine.
6. Rinse everything out by running 8 cups of cold fresh water through your machine at least 4 times.
You're done!

c.l.r. works great as well but only for the decanter. if you mean the part that heats the water .. no only vinegar can do the job since you have to worry about chemicals in the system. if it is that bad. get a new one..

I assume you are looking for something that you have handy and not citric acid as was suggesed earlier.
Bleach water works pretty good. Asdoes salt and lemon water.
