Your coffee maker

There may be a couple of mistakes you’re making with your coffee maker. First off, you’re not cleaning it enough. Your coffee pot can develop mold, and according to the Food and Drug Administration, food-borne mold can lead to some health complications, like respiratory problems. As for your coffee filters, don’t ignore those perforated edges along the bottom and one side. You’re meant to fold those inward to create a flat surface for the filter and help it fit in the canister.
