How to Get the Coffee Smell Out From a Pot

Deodorize your coffee pot with soapy water.

When brewing coffee regularly, your coffee pot tends to accumulate a strong coffee odor. To keep the pot clean and smelling fresh, deodorize the pot to remove the smell without the use of chemical ingredients that could contaminate your next pot of brewed coffee. Luckily there is a natural deodorizer that safely removes the smell without damaging your coffee pot.

Things You'll Need

• Water
• Dish soap
• Cleaning rags
• White vinegar

Instructions

1. Fill the sink with approximately 1 gallon of water and 2 tbsp. of dish soap.

2. Dip a cleaning rag into the soapy water and scrub down your coffee pot, inside and out. Rinse the pot after cleaning.

3. Run a full pot of white vinegar through the brewing cycle. This will not only deodorize the coffee pot but the brewing unit itself.

4. Run three fresh pots of plain water through the unit to get rid of any vinegar residue.
