  1. Here's a far more effective trick. Add ice to your carafe along with a couple tablespoons of salt. Swirl the mixture for about 30 seconds then dump out and rinse. Highly effective for glass coffee pots as well. For the glass variety, swirl until the outside forms a frost coating. Wipe away the frost with a terry cloth hand towel, then dump and rinse the inside of the pot.
    This method has the advantage of ensuring you don't accidentally leave any soap residue that would ruin your next pot of coffee. And it leaves your glass pots looking brand new as if they've never been used.

  3. I just tried this with a teaspoon of boxed dry dishwashing powder and water at a near boil from a tea kettle. Absolutely perfect outcome. I wish I’d learned this earlier! Thank you, this is much better than other methods I’ve tried.
