How to clean a cappuchino (coffee) maker?
I have an Oster Capuchino Coffee Maker. Because I make daily coffee, the machine is blocked, this is, no releasing enough pressure to fill the cup and the steam from the steam tube is still working but it releases less pressure each day. What can I do? The pipe was just replaced one month ago because of the same problem ($35 US). Is there a kind of soap? Cleaner? Thanks!!!!

You have scale buildup in the machine. It's caused by hard (calcium / mineral rich) water. There are various cleaners for coffee makers and irons (that's what you want).

CLR® - Calcium Lime Rust Remover - is a popular one and can be found in just about every supermarket and hardware store. Follow the directions and rinse well - run a few tanks of water through the system for a final rinse.

If this happens often either get a good water filter that works on calcium and minerals or use distilled water (best).
