Here in Austin, TX we have very hard water and my coffee maker has slowed waaaayyyyy down.
I have a Mr. Coffee coffee maker it cost me .00 and it was wonderful at first but now it is sloooowww.
It has a feature to let you know when the coffee is done…it beeps 8 times. But now, it beeps even though it’s not even close to being done.
Would it be better if I would use distilled water?

Yes. The lime will clog it. I clean my coffee maker 1x month w/vinegar. Fill pot w/vinegar and let it run through one cycle (make sure you have a filter in). Then run clear water through 2 times. I do this 1x a month because we drink about 5 pots a day in my house-no lie!
