I've never had 7-11 coffee so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. But other than making sure you have a good quality coffee some things you can try is to add a pinch of salt to the coffee grounds when brewing to help cut down on the bitterness. Another reason why brewing coffee at home doesn't quite give you the same taste as the stuff you buy is because most commercial coffee makers brew at a higher temperature than your coffee maker at home. A cheat to get closer to that taste is to grind your coffee a bit finer than usual.

I used to wonder the same thing. I use a Brita water filter, brown paper filters,I grind Eight O' Clock beans in a grinder, don't know what combination of that stuff works but it tastes fine. It's been ages since I've put any cleaning powder in it- I don't use vinegar- I just use water- again from the Brita filter- sounds like that might be your problem, the vinegar.

not sure what your saying but the vinegar is used to clean the pot only and should be done once a month. then rinsed till you don't smell it any more, my Cuisinart takes about 4 rinses. You could look on line for fresh roasted beans and a grinder this will provide the best coffee around,

Run just distilled water through it a few times sans coffee. It sounds as if you used too much vinegar.
