How to Clean The Inside of a Glass Coffee Carafe
Cleaning a coffee carafe will not only improve the taste of the coffee but also maintain the carafe’s durability and longevity. Here are some easy steps to follow when cleaning a coffee carafe:
Step 1: Empty The Carafe
- Empty the carafe and any contents from the pot.
- For best results, rinse out the carafe immediately after use, or soon after the last use.
Step 2: Wash with Soap and Water
- Fill the carafe with warm water and add a few drops of mild detergent.
- Shake the carafe gently, to ensure that the detergent mixes into the water.
- Swirl and scrub the inside of the carafe with a soft cleaning brush to remove stains.
- Once the stains are gone, thoroughly rinse the carafe with clean water.
Step 3: Descale
- If your carafe is prone to scale, fill it with a solution of 1 part vinegar to 10 parts water.
- Allow the vinegar solution to sit in the pot for at least an hour to descale.
- Empty the pot, and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Step 4: Dry The Carafe
- Make sure the carafe is completely dry before storing.
