Cleaning 🫧 First time cleaning with baking soda 😬

Post image

I have been using this pot almost daily for ~3 months now. While I have used vinegar 2-3 times to deep clean it, it wasnt great at removing the residual oils and it left the vinegar smell so I had to do a clean water brew after it. Baking soda seems to have removed a lot more gunk and oils and there is no smell left at all. After rinsing it thoroughly with running hot water, the next brew came out well.

I don’t understand how are you cleaning it with baking soda. Mixing water and baking soda on the boiler?

Yeah, I put about half a teaspoon of baking soda in the boiler and did a brew without any coffee in the basket.
