Subject: De-liming coffeemaker with aluminum piping


My first Braun KF180 developed a pinhole leak in the heater piping. I
found a second machine, since this is the best coffeemaker I've ever had[1].
More from superstition than knowledge of chemistry, I'm convinced that
using vinegar to de-lime the old one gradually contributed to causing
the pinhole leak. Am I barking out my blowhole, or should I find something
else to de-lime with?


[1] Yeah, I know, to the purist "best coffeemaker" is like "nicest garbage",
but when I drag my groggy butt out of bed my Braun has a decent cuppa ready
for me.
