How to Clean a Dirty Glass Coffee Pot
Having a glass coffee pot ensures that you always have the perfect cup of coffee, but keeping it in good condition can require some maintenance. Cleaning an unsightly coffee pot doesn’t have to be a chore with these simple steps.
Things You’ll Need:
- Paper towels
- Distilled white vinegar
- Baking soda
- Small brush
- Toothbrush
Step 1: Soak and Scrub
Start by soaking your glass coffee pot in warm water and a small amount of dish soap or baking soda in the sink. Allow the pot to soak for about 20 minutes before scrubbing away any residue with a brush or a toothbrush.
Step 2: Vinegar Solution
Mix together a 1:1 solution of distilled white vinegar and water. Fill the coffee pot with the vinegar solution and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. This method is highly effective for removing stubborn stains that could not be scrubbed away.
Step 3: Rinse and Wipe
After the pot has soaked and all stains are removed, rinse away the vinegar solution and dry the pot with paper towels.
Step 4: Replace Filters.
Finally, remove any filters and replace with new ones. This way you will get a better flavor and aroma each time you make coffee.
Tips:
- Do not scrub too hard or you may scratch the surface of the glass pot.
- If the vinegar solution does not work, try adding lemon juice instead.
- Make sure to rinse off the pot several times with hot water.
With these steps, you can keep your glass coffee pot looking and smelling like new. Cleaning your coffee pot on a regular basis will ensure that you always have the perfect cup of coffee.
