I add 3 tsp of baking soda and Dawn dish soap and hot water, swish around and let sit for 30 minutes to an hour. Take a scrub brush and brush around and rinse. Comes out clean every time.
Do the Dishwasher Pods have a scent? Depending on the type of coffeepot you have, I would hesitate to soak it overnight for fear the scent may permanently leave the scent of the pod. I rather use Baking Soda.
I just use a squirt of Dawn dishwash detergent in the pot, fill it with hot water and give it a stir with a long wooden spoon. I leave it in the sink overnight and rinse it out in the morning.
Just buy Puly Caff. It's actually made to clean off coffee (from espresso machines and coffee equipment) and will be better than wasting a whole dishwasher tab.
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.
Chemist here….. organics break down more easily in alkaline environments. Baking soda and hot water is a lot safer than cutting open a detergent pod, and works just as well. Been using it for a couple decades on all materials…. steel, glass and ceramic
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.
Worked at a coffee shop pre-Starbucks. Hot water and some household unscented bleach, shake and swirl, then rinse with hot water and you are done. No worries about soap or detergent residue that could make someone ill.
Just a tablespoon of white distilled vinegar and hot water does the trick. All natural and so very easy to do. Use also for cleaning the coffee machine. 👍
This seems like overkill. I use a tablespoon of oxyclean or equivalent and soak woth hot water for an hour. Something like PBW from a homebrew shop would also do the trick
Your mom looks adorable. 😊

What a beautiful woman.

Dishwasher pods are a strong base. You can get the same results with a little bleach.
Nope. In restaurants as some have said, ice, salt, and lemons.
ATK is great, BUT they have a tendency to go for the most expensive solution.

My uncle never washed his coffee cup it was so dark inside. He said it made the coffee taste better
We don't use pods,how bout gel?
No no no. You are supposed to eat those.

AKA Puro Caff

Vinegar. Brew a pot with water and vinegar

I've worked in restaurants and for catering companies. I almost lost my job for using soap on the coffee pot! I've been taught to use white vinegar.
Vinegar, since my Grandmother times 😝
Or… How about get a wide-mouth borosilicate glass carafe drip coffee…

Be aware the dish washer pods leave a toxic coating I, your dishes
How about those zojirushi with plastic lined inside I Scrub the brown off with a bottle brush but I'm sure I'm probably damaging the plastic
Splash of bleach. Even less expensive!!

Why cut the pod when it dissolves?
yeah!… thx mom!! 🥰
I like to solve things as natural as possible. Baking soda works well. It breaks down acid in coffee and cleans airpots perfectly!

Skull and cross bones come to mind
With that amount of dishwashing powder, in the morning, rinse out the pot 75 times with hot water. That's it!
I have tried everything in the past with out any luck, but this worked beautifully. Thank you so much
No. Surfonics used in laundry pods have fragrances that do not just rinse away. Worst tip yet.
Urnex is really cheap…
A little OxiClean works wonders.
What about the rest of the machine?
