Let it foam up. When the foaming subsides, return the pot to the stove & let it boil gently over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Rinse & use. RE: Cleaning a Coffee Pot Post by acope (28) | (02/22/2005) Contact I worked at a steakhouse for several years and we always cleaned our coffee pots with lemon slices, 1/2 cup of salt, and ice swished around and around and then run through the dishwasher for sterilization. They always sparkled! I always keep lemons on hand for that and freshening the garbage disposal!

Then use the salt/ice method which works well with narrow necked coffee pots that you can't scrub by hand and a brush isn't very effective. But salt/ice/swirling method works very well!
