    Add a generous amount of salt (maybe 2 or 3 Tablespoons) and enough water to cover the burned area. Heat the pot to boiling or thereabouts and watch the burned coffee release from the glass. Someone told me about this and I didn’t believe them until I tried it! It works great.

    Just put a little salt and a few cubes of ice in the pot and swish around a bit and the pot is clean. This method works great.

    Fill the coffee pot all the way with White Vinegar. Run it through the brew cycle a few times. You can replace the vinegar each time, or reuse the same solution. This will clean the whole system including the pot.

    Make sure you brew clean water several times after you finish running all the vinegar cycles. Replace the water after each cycle, to prevent your coffee from tasting like vinegar.

    This might smell up your house. I recommend doing this in the garage, or on your apartment balcony.

    After pot has cooled from being burned(do not add water until it has)fill pot with water, add about 4 ounces of clorox. let it sit for about an hour. The pot will be cleaned, then pour the clorox down the drain to clean the drains as well.
