I had to stop Mom from running bleach through her coffee maker. The
carafe had some tough stains and bleach was all she could think of to
clean it. Um, you really don't want to be drinking that. White
vinegar works a treat

I use white vinegar in the coffee maker also. They make an actual
coffee pot cleaner that you can find in the supemarket. I've found that
using ice cubes and kosher salt with a dab of water does a remarkable
job on the actual glass pot itself and the glass iced tea pitchers. Just
put in some ice, salt and some water and whirl it around real good.
Rinse and clean as usual and it's clean.

Michael


I use Lemi-Shine in my dishwasher, so my glass coffeemaker pot always stays
pristinely clean and shiny.
