Don't run any chemicals through it that you wouldn't want to drink. My advice is break down and go buy some vinegar or you might be buying a new coffee pot.
You could use crushed ice and salt to clean out the carafe like the restaurants do. If you have baking soda you might try baking soda and hot water to clean out the basket(don't run it through the coffee maker itself). Good luck.
No if it's that bad you can keep it or give it to a neighbor that you really don't like much.

When the espresso maker is empty, pour in a combination of a million cup white vinegar and a few scorching water to replenish the reservoir to the highest. Run the espresso maker such as you had been making espresso, simply with none beans in it. Once the cycle has completed, run it two times extra with simply undeniable water, so that it will rinse out the vinegar and any construct up left within. The espresso will style bigger the following time you're making a cuppa Joe!

Since the coffee doesn't go through the coffeemaker itself all you need to do is clean the basket and carafe real well. Use a little bleach on both and then wash with your regular dish soap. Maybe wipe off the area just above the basket where the hot water comes out with a paper towel. And that's it- you're all set.

No No No- don't use simple green. The odor will remain even if the chemical doesn't. Why wouldn't you just use vinegar- wait until you get to a store? You can get small bottles for less than 0.70.

here is what we had to do in resturants
1.put ice in the pot
2.pour salt in it
3. squeeze lemon then shake a few time
for the coffee maker it's self
1. if its really bad take it apart and manually clean in hot water
2..go buy coffee maker cleaner..in the isle with coffee
3..go to the dollar store and buy a new one for $10 or to a garage sale or salvation army or good will
4..dont put no cleaner like simple green in it..it will for ever tast like it..
5..try boiling hot water and pouring down it..
if you lived near me i could give you one...but im really good friends with santa

I have used bleach in mine. Mix a small amount with water, just don't forget to run thru 2 pots of plain water afterward

That's quite a simple problem. Use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Duo. It has soft, blue foam as an absorbent layer and a white eraser for scrubbing soils or stains. Here's a good site http://www.upkb.com/mrclean.php for product tips and details.

I would never use a cleaning solvent on a coffee maker but if you do it & don't have any adverse side effects, let us know. & How hard is it to pick up vinegar at the grocery store ?

Talkingdonkey is right. coffee filter holder and carafe are the only things that need cleaning. Bleach and soapy water should do it. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT put baking soda into your coffee maker itself. It will blow up!
