How to clean a Glass Coffee Pot
Coffee has become an important part of daily routines and a great way to start the day, making it especially important to keep your glass coffee pot clean and in good condition. Here are the best practices for cleaning a glass coffee pot:
Step 1: Fill the Pot With Water & Soap
Start by filling the pot with warm water and a few drops of dish soap. Swirl the water inside and then let the pot sit for five to 10 minutes. This will loosen any built-up residue from the pot.
Step 2: Empty and Rinse the Pot
After the pot has sat for five to 10 minutes, empty the soapy water into the sink. Rinse the pot out with hot water, making sure to remove all the soap.
Step 3: Scrub With a Sponge
If there is any residue in the pot, scrub it with a sponge, making sure to remove all of it. For tougher stains, use baking soda mixed with hot water as a natural cleaning agent.
Step 4: Use Vinegar
If your glass coffee pot still isn’t looking its best, use vinegar to get it sparkling clean. Fill the pot up with equal parts water and vinegar and boil it on the stove. Then, let the pot sit with the vinegar water for 30 minutes before rinsing it out.
Step 5: Wipe Down the Pot
For a final touch, use a damp cloth to wipe the outside of the pot and remove any remaining dirt or grime.
Tips for Cleaning a Glass Coffee Pot
- Empty and rinse the pot after each use. Doing this will help keep your glass coffee pot clean longer.
- Clean the filter basket regularly. This should be done when you are cleaning the pot, as the filter basket can trap oils, minerals, and other residue that can make the coffee taste bad.
- Deep clean regularly. For the best cup of coffee, deep clean your pot every one to two weeks, following the steps described above.
Cleaning your glass coffee pot should be an easy part of your routine. By following the steps above, you’ll make sure that your coffee tastes great, cup after cup.
