Instructions
- Fill the carafe with hot water.

To keep the coffee carafe clean, it should be emptied and rinsed out after each use. Additionally, it’s a good idea to put a teaspoon of baking soda in the carafe every few weeks and then rinse it out. This will help remove any buildup that can affect the taste or freshness of your coffee.
