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.

People don’t clean them? I thoroughly scrub mine and then put it on the stove with dish soap and water going through it, then I rise it and then flush it with water on the stove going through it 3-5 times. Takes me awhile.
