Poured vinegar into our Krups coffee maker to clean and a clear gel
formed on the top of the strainer with a puff of steam. The coffee maker
was just turned off when the vinegar was poured in and it was of the
white distilled type (Heinz) and not diluted at all. Any idea what could
have caused this reaction? The water supply we use is filtered through
reverse osmosis from the Milwaukee, WI Water supply.

TIA

Many coffee makers have aluminium components. You description seems a
lot like the reaction of vinegar with aluminium.
