Cleaning a stainless steelcoffee pot - help!

I've tried to clean my coffee pot with:

vinegar

soaking in vinegar/hot water soln

tried using a bottle brush

But I can't get the residual coffee staining off the bottom.

 Any ideas?

Thanks!

  • A big part of me says... You've scrubbed it, you've soaked it. Give it up already. It's clean. It's just a stain. No one will ever see because you'll have fresh coffee in it.

    But Bar Keeper's Friend is probably worth a shot.

  • I'm trying to get rid of a bad burn stain off my new all clad pot and I googled for some tips after being unsuccessful with soaking and using bar keeper's friend. 

    Last night, I poured a bottle of Coke into the pot and let it soak overnight.  To my surprise, it got rid of 95% of gunk this morning.

    The remaining 5% still smells awful and it's still tacky to the touch, so I'm going to try the other tip I found online.  Use a dryer sheet and soak it in the pot/pan with lukewarm water overnight and then clean the next day.  I need to buy the sheets to try this out (only have liquid fabric softener now).

    Hope this helps!

  • My DH is the most super anal OCD guy about the coffee pot you have ever met.  I couldn't get the stains out either but I knew it was clean so it was good enough for me.  While I was at work one day he put a little bit of iron out in the pot and let it sit for a few minutes.  That thing looked just like brand new and he didn't even scrub it.  Of course, he know considers himself a genius.
  • I throw some ice and a ton of salt inside the ss pot close the lid and shake it!  I also swirl all around.  Works like a charm!
