Green Coffee Pot Cleaning tip
If you have a glass coffee pot that is dingy from use try this to clean it.
Needed:
2 lemon wedges
2 Tbsp salt
1 handful ice cubes
1/4 cup cold water
Put these items in the coffee pot and squeeze the lemons and toss them in the pot too. Swish these around in the pot for awhile then take the lemons and use those to wipe the sides of the pot. The acidity in the lemon will remove any stains.
Rinse and voila!!! Like-new coffee pot :-)
To be ultra green you can use lemons that have been used in your iced tea-- reduce, reuse, recycle!

Re: Green Coffee Pot Cleaning tip
Let me know how it goes for you guys.
This is a trick I learned during a summer gig working at a British Tea Parlor
Yeah, I know, me waitressing has GOT to bring a smile to a few faces. I was horrible, but luckily my sense of humor got me a few tips here and there :-)
Anywho, those Brits sure know how to clean a tea/coffee pot :-)
This is what we did in the restaurant business when I waited tables. We used the lemons that were cut for iced tea but unused.
