When I was younger I was fearless, I could drink anything that resembled coffee. Highway gas stations, college cafeteria, some friend’s apartment. Anything containing caffeine was ok. Even In my own place where I lived with my little brother (7 years older than me) where we drank for years some strange liquid we called coffee. Then a friend from Venezuela came for some days and teached me the ancient secret of making coffee on the stove. It was definitely light years from what i used to drink and now knowing the secret I mastered. BUT it didn’t look cool. I wanted a coffee maker machine, so I ended getting one. And it served well for years and years. And the pot started to transform from a very attractive transparent glass to a very not so much attractive opaque marmit.
Yes, now I know it didn’t have to be that way, but, you know I washed it all the time and never came out that buildup, so I tried to ignore it.
But now I know better, so now I now bring to your the ancient chinese secret of how to clean a coffee pot.
- Fill the pot with ⅔ of water and ⅓ vinegar. If you think it won’t be strong enough, make it half and half.
- Put a filter in your coffee maker.
- Put the mixture of water and vinegar in the deposit for water.
- Turn on the coffee maker and let it filter all the mix
- Discard
- Let the coffee maker cool, then wash the pot with warm water.
- Repeat a second time, but now with just water to make sure the vinegar is gone.
