How Do You Get The Burned Coffee Out Of The Glass Carafe Pot?
If you are fortunate enough to get coffee at work, this is a good thing! There are, however, times when the pots don’t get turned off, and if there’s only a little bit of coffee remaining, it will continue “cooking” and turn into brown crust at the base of the coffee pot. Don’t fear, coffee lovers, there is a remedy for this; if you’ve never tried it, do your co-workers a favor and perform this magic the next time coffee burned at the bottom of the pot jeopardizes your morning cup-a-joe. Making sure the pot has cooled completely off and the coffee is hardened (crusty, almost) at the bottom, pour enough salt to cover the bottom of the pot–all over the crusted-over coffee. Next, toss in four or five large, square ice cubes (or several more if they are smaller) on top of the salt. Finally, add enough water to barely cover the ice cubes in the coffee pot. Start swishing the cubes around and around, watching with awe as the elements break down the dried-on coffee. You might have to dump it
