Warm soapy water and air-dry for the top.
Wipe out the insides with a cotton swab dipped in same- be careful, but they're pretty tough.
Even works for fag-ash [cough......].

Whats split coffee?, why dont you drink tea, you would never have had the problem...................take the k/board out, soak in some luke warm water for a short while, use a hairdrier on the machine..........
