Question

I thought there was something with viniger?

Answer 1

water, lemon juice ice and salt. swirl it around.
we did this when i worked in a restaurant. the ice keeps the salt from disintegrating and it scrubs off the residue. lemon deodorizes. good luck!!

Answer 2

If you're talking about the automatic drip ones that most people use , the pot is one thing, the rest of the appliance another. I heard or read somewhere a Long time ago to use Kosher salt in the pot, with a tiny bit of dish detergent, and tiny bit of water. Let stand for a few minutes, swish the salt around in the bottom, and then wash the whole inside and outside of the pot as you normally would anything, rinse well, and let drip dry upside down. It's simple, easy and works for me. THE MACHINE, HOWEVER, IS DIFFERENT AS YOU CAN'T GET INSIDE TO CLEAN IT . this ALSO WORKS FOR IRONS. fill THE POT UP WITH A COUPLE TABLESPOONS OF WHITE VINEGAR AND WATER, THEN POUR IT IN AND TURN IT ON Brew JUST LIKE YOU WERE BREWING A POT OF COFFEE. after it all drips through, turn the coffeemaker off, fill the pot with plain water, and repeat a couple of times. Be sure to look underneath where the brewed coffee comes out, it can get pretty filthy. Just wipe off with a clean cloth or sponge. This works for me, although I can't remember the last time I ironed, I hate it, so I have become an excellent "folder" Right out of the dryer. Hope this helps you out.

Answer 3

Fill it about half full with ice cubes and swish them around with some water to remove old coffee residue.

Running vinegar through a drip coffee maker instead of water will clean the coffee MAKER. I don't think it does anything for the POT.

Answer 5

yes take 1/2 cup of vinegar and add water to fill coffee pot then pour through the coffee maker. If you ever burn it.. coat the bottom of pot with salt and add ice cubes and swish it around don't ever use a scourer in the pot.

Answer 6

Lemon Juice, ice, and water. For some reason the lemon juice cuts through the coffee grounds and cleans the glass. I think it's the acid. The ice helps break it away and the water just helps to swish it around.

Answer 7

I used to work at a Dunkin Donuts and we used a bit of bleach in our water to get all of the stubborn coffee stains and residue out. Just don't use too much or let it soak too long. Be sure to wash it VERY well with clean soap and water afterwards so you don't have bleach leftover in your pot. Good luck!

Answer 8

What is the best way to clean a coffee pot , you ask? I have always relied on baking soda to clean stubborn stains, Have you tried cleaning the posts, of your battery when they are dirty? Baking soda to the rescue, my husband is an auto, and bus mechanic for forty eight yrs. and he has always relied on the magic of baking soda. I hope that this information helps you some.

Answer 9

You do not give a lot of information but If it is glass(pyrex) put ice cubes in there add a few tablespoons of table salt (just pour in in out of the box) and move the pot by the handle in a circular motion to stir it up so to speak. That is how to remove the burnt stuff off of it.
works like a charm (restraunts use this method)

Answer 10

clean coffee pot

Answer 11

I put the white vinegar through it once a week like you do water, half way through turn it off for about 30 minutes then start it again. I scrub it with cleanser all over to get the stains out then rinse it good.
