Fortunately, there are several tricks you can try to help you get rid of those ugly and unsightly stains.
8 Easy Tips to Restore a Sparkling Coffee Pot
- Vinegar Solution: Fill your coffee pot with equal parts warm water and white vinegar. Let the solution sit for a few hours to allow the vinegar to loosen up any stale residues. Once the solution has had adequate soaking time, scrub the interior of the pot with a soft sponge or cloth and rinse with hot water.
- Baking Soda & Lemon Juice: Make a paste using equal parts baking soda and lemon juice. Rub the paste on the stain in a circular motion and slowly let it sit for a few minutes. After a few minutes, rinse with warm water. The acidity of the lemon juice will break down any discoloration.

- Salt:Spread salt on a damp sponge and scrub the interior of the pot. Rinse the pot with hot water and you will find the stains have faded.
- Citrus Juices: Make an orange, lemon or lime paste by combining equal parts of the juice with equal parts of baking soda. Rub the paste onto the stains, let it sit for 5-10 minutes and rinse with warm water.
- Salt & Vinegar Paste: Simply combine equal parts of salt and white vinegar. Rub the mixture into the stained surface with a sponge and rinse with hot water.
