How to Get a Glass Coffee Pot Clean
Glass coffee pots are a great way to make coffee, but without proper cleaning, the coffee can become old and tarry. Here are some easy and effective steps to get your coffee pot clean and looking as good as new!
Step One: Rinse Out the Coffee Pot
Before you start any cleaning process, you should make sure you rinse out the coffee pot. This will help clear out any loose grounds or debris that has made it into the pot.
Step Two: Fill With Hot Water & White Vinegar
Once you have the pot rinsed out, fill it up half way with hot water and then add 1 cup of white distilled vinegar. Let this sit in the pot for 10-15 minutes.
Step Three: Scrub
Once you have let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes, you can begin to scrub the pot. Start with a soft-bristled brush, such as a bottle brush, and begin scrubbing around the sides of the pot. You can also use a nonabrasive sponge to scrub the inside.
Step Four: Rinse & Dry
Once you have scrubbed the entire pot, make sure you rinse it out with hot water and then dry it thoroughly with a paper towel or lint-free cloth.
Additional Tips for Cleaning a Glass Coffee Pot:
- Add Baking Soda: You can also add 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda to the vinegar and water mixture to help get the pot extra clean.
- Lemon Juice: You can also add lemon juice for an extra fresh, clean scent.
- Plastic Coffee Pots: If you have a plastic coffee pot, you should be careful when cleaning it. Stick to nonabrasive sponges and nonabrasive cleaners, such as dish detergent.
By following these simple steps, you can easily get your glass coffee pot clean and free of any old coffee grounds. With the right supplies and some elbow grease, you can keep your coffee pot looking and smelling like new.
