- Process 4: Allow the mixture sit in the coffee pot for a few minutes.

Caring for Your Glass Coffee Pot
Cleaning your coffee pot once or twice a month is a great way to help maintain its beauty and keep it in tip top shape. Additionally, use cold water to fill your coffee pot when making a pot of coffee for two reasons: it reduces calcium build-up in the spout and it keeps your coffee pot from overheating.
And, if your glass coffee pot is getting too thick with calcium build-up, add some white vinegar and go through the cleaning process a couple more times.
Conclusion
Cleaning your glass coffee pot doesn’t have to be time consuming if you use the right cleaning agents and techniques as outlined above. Make sure to clean your coffee pot on a regular basis to avoid tough stains and mineral deposits, and enjoy fresh tasting coffee every time.
