How do you get mold out of a coffee pot?

Answer 1

hot water, soap and a good scrubbing brush

Answer 2

You don't ever want to use bleach or soaps in a Coffey pot!!!! It will make the Coffey taste like s**t forever afterward. I have worked in many restaurants and here is the trick: Take 1 lemon and cut it into wedges and squeeze them then put them in the Coffey pot peels and all then add about a 1/2 cup of kosher or sea salt. Let sit over night. Then scrub pot with the salty lemons then rinse with very hot water.
Provided that you at least rinsed the coffee pot first, this will do the trick.

Answer 3

Run the coffee pot like you normally would, except without the coffee and use vinegar instead of water. Make sure you run the coffee pot twice afterwards without the coffee and use just water. Do this about every 4 to 6 weeks to keep the coffee pot from getting gross.

Answer 4

Just rinse it out, the best coffee is: If you have a coffee pot that makes 20 cups of coffee but in reality only holds enough water to make 10 then you have good coffee. Never ever wash a coffee pot, let it get cruddy, sticky, oily, etc and enjoy a great cup of joe, java, wake me up, whatever.........

Answer 5

If bleach doesn't do the trick....try warm salt water and then wash the pot....If the mold is under the plastic or metal rim, you need to take a screwdriver (most often a Phillips) and take the plastic apart and that will make it easier to get to the nasty stain cleaned...

Answer 6

Brew a pot of straight vinegar to clean the whole coffee pot system.

Answer 7

You could boil some water and put it in the coffee pot, and put some salt in it and let it soak.When I worked at Krystal's, all of the cashier had to do that and then wash the pot.

Answer 8

I would use bleach. Unless you are talking about the inside of the coffee maker, then you are supposed to clean the coffee maker with white vinegar once a month.

Answer 9

is it drip, perk or stove top boil?
NEVER use bleach. In most cases, vinegar works great. NEver use steel wool on a glass surface. It makes invisible stress cracks and will cause it to break.
Having been to dear camp I understand where u r coming from. It is difficult but if you have a perk or stove top, after cleaning use pipe cleaners to scrub out the basket holder.

Answer 10

Try soaking it with some ice and salt and then use one of those dish brushes to scrub--next put it in the dish washer to clean out the bacteria that had grown.

Answer 11

Are you talking about the fungus, or how the coffee pot is shaped when it's cast?
