I always use vinegar -- I have had aa Mr. Coffee, a Krups,
and now a Salton Three-in-One.  Just vinegared the thing
last week and it worked fine -- never any damage.

usually use about 2 cups of white vinegar per pot of
water.  Then I run clear water through the brew cycle
twice.  (I can't imagine how bad coffee with vinegar
would be!)
