No More Clouds in My Coffee

Last week, my coffee maker produced some bitterly awful coffee. At first I thought that it was due to my having changed my Brita filter, because when I tasted the newly filtered water, it didn't taste right. So after running a fair bit of water through the new filter, that went away, but my coffee didn't improve too much. It had been wisely suggested to me that I clean my coffee maker, so I bought some vinegar and was about to pour it in, when I realized that there might be an actual procedure. Here it is:

I'm glad I looked! So I diluted 1 part vinegar with 2 parts water and ran it through, then ran just water through a few times. Lo and behold, my coffee tastes much richer and fuller this morning, without the bitterness.
