Things You Will Need
-
Pour 1/8 cup of salt in the coffee pot. Sprinkle the salt so that it spread out over the bottom of the pot.
-
Add 4 to 6 ice cubes to the pot.
-
Twirl the ice cubes and salt around by holding the pot in one hand and quickly moving it in a circular motion. The salt will stick to the ice cubes and provide abrasion that will loosen the stuck on coffee. You may wish to use a wooden spoon to stir the ice cubes. Use your hands to force the cubes into any creases that may be hard to reach.
-
Pour off the ice cube and salt mixture and rinse to remove any traces of salt and residue.
-
Remove and traces of remaining coffee stains by applying baking soda to the stain and scrubbing with a wet sponge.
-
Rinse with clear water to check for any remaining traces of burnt on coffee. Repeat previous steps if necessary.
-
Wash in hot soapy water with mild dish detergent. Rinse and dry as usual.
