I would rather clean three nasty 1911's

than one Mr. Coffee. It's been a couple of months and it was looking bad so I have been squirting it with Spic and Span and rubbing away all the brown stains but there are a lot of tiny corners and ridges inside this thing. I have a gallon of white vinegar so that's next. I am going to run a full load of half and half water and vinegar and then two loads of just water and I am done.

when i was growing up the conventional wisdom was to never wash your coffee pot.

Everyone knows that's where all the *flavor* comes from.

Someone who shall remain nameless, out of fear of her doing great * harm while I sleep, did the vinegar treatment one night after dinner. She rinsed once and figured that was enough. The next morning I discovered a new taste sensation and not in a good way.😝 Bob

Next you are gonna say you are gonna wash your favorite coffee cup as well.

Is that the source of the famous brown water based preservative?

The "fond" in the pot just adds flavor...........

It will eventually reach a point where you can just add water to the crusted pot and have "coffee"...

Rather sad state of affairs that your cleaner got the autocensor.
