Cleaning Your Farberware Coffee Pot
Whether you’re a new coffee enthusiast or an experienced barista, keeping your Farberware coffee pot clean and in tip-top shape is a priority to guarantee great-tasting coffee. Regular cleaning will help extend the life your coffee pot so that you can enjoy it for years to come. Here’s some tips on how best to clean your Farberware coffee pot.
Use a Descaler
Regular use of coffee can cause a buildup of minerals, called scaling, inside the machine. To keep your machine running efficiently it is essential to use a descaler regularly. Here’s how to do it:
- Fill your pot with two parts vinegar to one part water. Use white vinegar for best results.
- Fill the water reservoir with the vinegar solution.
- Run the coffee pot until the solution has emptied into the carafe.
- For best results, use a new piece of filter paper with each descaling.
- Rinse the coffee pot thoroughly with clean, running water.
Deep Clean Your Coffee Pot
To give your coffee pot a deep clean, take the following steps:
- Mix equal parts vinegar and water in the carafe. You can use a higher concentration for tougher stains.
- Pour the mixture into the water reservoir and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Run the coffee pot until the solution empties out. Run a few more cycles with just water until the vinegar smell is gone.
- Clean the carafe with soap and water if necessary then rinse thoroughly.
- Wash the filter basket and lid by hand. Avoid putting these parts in the dishwasher as damage can occur.
- Remove the limescale buildup on the heating element by using a limescale remover or brushing vigorously with a soft-bristled brush.
Conclusion
It’s easy to make sure that your coffee pot remains clean for years of delicious coffee. A regular regimen of descaling and deep cleaning will ensure your Farberware coffee pot remains in tip-top shape.
