Thank you very much for posting this! I have a Cuisinart insulated carafe that was absolutely coated with a thick layer of brown/black crud. I had serious doubts this would work but decided to give it a shot. I followed your directions and left it to soak all afternoon. Opened it fully expecting to see no change, and to my surprise the stainless steel was bright and clean. Previously I tried baking soda... then citric acid... neither worked. In prep for Christmas morning I was about to throw out both the machine and carafe and buy new. Looking forward to a perfect cup of coffee Christmas morning with some extra special coffee purchased for the occasion. Have a wonderful Christmas and thanks again for posting!
I've done this on ceramic coffee mugs, stainless coffee mugs, glass coffee pots, and stainless thermoses, it does work well and does eliminate the brown stains (I use the boiling waiter + baking soda but I also wipe it out with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and/or bottle brush in the thermos)
Disney properties has a mix that they have in their resort rooms. Took it home and put it in my stove top percolator, came out like a new pot , only wish we filled it above the normal fill line. Simply amazing.
I will add my voice to the chorus of praise, my friend. This worked like a miracle and I was absolutely stunned to see all of the black sludge that poured out of my tumbler. No wonder my coffee hasn't been tasting right! Can't wait to try my first new brew, tomorrow. Thanks, again!
I had to come back to post that this is indeed an easy method that works beautifully! So easy.... basically does it by itself. In the past, I'd scrubbed to no avail, and this JUST WORKS!
I’m so glad I came across this because this solution worked wonders for my stainless steel coffee carafe!!! It really works!! The carafe looks like I just bought it!
Thank you!!! I just bought a very nice machine secondhand from a lady. It needs some TLC, but that doesn’t scare me, because I know it can be done. It’ll be worth the work. The pot is stainless & needs your method. Much appreciated for your video. You guys were cute!
I have the same pot. I have a no scrub solution. Drop 3 denture cleaning tablets into an empty pot, fill the tank of the coffeemaker with cold water, let it run thru a cycle, let it sit for a few minutes depending on how bad it is, then rinse. Mine looked like new inside! Absolutely no scrubbing. Got way more stuff out, nothing left in.
Holy crap! I did not know my reputation had reached such distances. Thankfully, I ran into your advice, which worked like a charm and earned you a sub. Thank you!
Thank you! I've been going nuts trying to chip out that black stuff on my own, boggled by how it doesn't just wash out. My first non-glass coffee pot, so it's been journey. I'm glad all it needs is baking soda :')
Coffee pot goo is actually a combination of oils and hard water deposits usually. We have very hard water here locally. Really scales up coffee makers quick. You need something to cut the oil and something to clean off the mineral scale too. Funny part about that is that acid takes off mineral and alkaline breaks up oil and grease. Two exact opposites of the ph spectrum. Sometimes the back and forth approach is required. Essentially vinegar on one end and soap or detergent on the other.
@@CleanWithConfidence I'm going to look at some more of your vids. I've used industrial cleaning supplies in the past and can attest that there is a world apart difference from diluted "consumer" grade bad jokes that only appear to be made to sell to people in high volumes at high profits. Amazing what you learn as professional janitor if you only bother to read labels and stay awake in the seminars....
I was very surprised, but this worked! I got a second hand, stained, Kleen Kanteen 20oz stainless steel travel mug. 1/2 cup baking soda and boiling water to the top, w/ lid on overnight, and the stains came right off in the morning when I used my mug dish brush. Not as dramatic as the video, a lot of it had already come off in a previous wash after filling the mug with hot water and white vinegar. But this got the rest of it off that the vinegar missed.
This worked great. Have tried in the past but didn’t use enough baking soda or boiling water. One and a half ours did three trick for both my thermal coffee pot and my stainless mug. Thanks!
I’ve been avoiding my coffee pot and only using French press for a couple of years now because I didn’t know how to get rid of that gross film. My pot is soaking right now and I’m so excited to not be breaking my French presses on a regular basis!
Was considering a new pot for my Breville grind and brew. You know hoe much?! $110!! Thanks so much for this. I'm waiting for an hour to pass. Am hopeful this will work!
Just like Gomer Pyle used to say Shazam! Thanks for your video production very serendipitous. I have the same exact Mr Coffee decanter. I simply am off grid. I truck in my water at the moment so I have to be very conservative with how I use material. I simply pour one part of bleach to five parts of water in a qt spray bottle and once a week spray down only a couple squirts, agitate with a scrub brush rinse repeat, then rinse very well, and put hot water (letting 1pt from actual coffee machine too purge into it) this is it's final rinse. I use less than a gallon of water for the whole process and it comes out wonderful and the bleach taste is totally gone if I follow those simple directions. I cannot waste energy or material, it has gotten way too expensive! BTW, the black matter is mold and coffee carbon. Nasty !
great video - and simple too! Gonna do this today to start off the new year with a clean stainless steel coffee carafe. Cuisine Art wants $70 for a new one, Nope.
Keep it simple. I boil water, drop in a dishwasher pod. Add boiling water. Put lid on, shake, soak at least 30 minutes. Incredible ! Same thing for percolator. Throw in dishwasher pod. Add cold water as high as you can go without spilling out of spout. Add guts. Run percolator and let sit for 1 hr. Rinse. Incredible!
This is great - thanks! I have an Oster bean grinder coffee maker and the lid for the grinder which was clear is now a horrible nicotine yellow - and ideas for that? Thanks!
My coffee tasted quite bitter and not pleasant. I descaled the machine but peeked inside and was horrified at the black interior. My pot is now soaking and I'm excited to have clean stainless steel again!
This totally worked!!! That crap at the bottom is disgusting. I used a long handle bristle brush and it worked like magic. Plus you are very funny!!! Thanks for sharing this.
Get “dip it” on Amazon. It’s what is used in commercial kitchens to remove coffee, tea and other food stains. It can remove months of build up in 45 minutes
Oh man! Wow 😱 that was a Some really gunky coffee stuff. I love cleaning stuff like that. I’m a nurse who also enjoyed squeezing out pustules from infected wounds too. It’s like you’re cleaning out infected coffee pots making them NEW AGAIN. Really cool 😎 Stuff.🤣
I tried it with my coffee pot. Maybe I should have stirred the mixture. When I came back to it, the baking soda was just like a block in the bottom. But, with a little bit of elbow grease, I was able to completely have the inside back to all stainless steal. Lesson learned. Next time, stir. Lol Next time meaning in the electric kettle tomorrow!
I use Clorox Clean-Up for anything like that. Now I've not used it on the gaskets the inside of the pot will immediately come clean with no scrubbing. This video looks like that person never cleans their coffee pot out after each use. I completely clean my coffee pot with hot soapy water every single day and I still need to use the Clorox Clean-Up in it about every couple weeks. And no you can't taste it in the coffee because you rinse it out properly!
Now use a steel wool scrunchy wire scrubber instead of the sponge and it’ll remove the dark staining and be super silver again too. I should have done the steps here first and it would have saved me time, lol. But use the steel wool pad after, you won’t regret it. Gets all the darker staining gone.
seeing the gunk pour out reminds me of the lining of a sewer line or a filthy garbage disposal....are you sure anyone consuming coffee made in this pot already have contracted E-Coli or food poisoning? Unless you're blind, one would be pretty dumb to have kept on making coffee in this pot
Actually, if you just spray oven cleaner inside the pot and wait 5 minutes it does the same thing - it will just dissolve the stain (no scrubbing) and you save an hour.
I just got a 2nd hand 40+ year old Revere Ware Tea Kettle. I’m gonna try the oven cleaner on it. Good Idea 👍🏻. Not too many people like using old fashioned Easy-Off Oven Cleaner because it’s kinda toxic to inhale. But for SURE, it always worked in the hardest grimy ovens. Sad the manufacturers now put warnings not to use it on the newer ovens. I don’t know why tho! It definitely works. Good Idea for this tea kettle tho’. Thanks 🙏🏼
@@GumriRN Funny think is - I actually use the oven cleaner for my tub/shower too. It's the only thing that actually gets it "clean."

No one should ever let their carafe get that nasty. If you clean your pot after every couple of uses, it will never get that bad. Bitter coffee comes from crappy coffee & bad filters. Use a good coffee & a good filter & you won't have bitter coffee.

Hot water and dish washer detergent will do a fine job also. A nylon glass brush works well to get into the hard to reach spots.

Best way to clean is to use a denture tablet with warm water. Rinse with baking soda.
