What type of coffee pot are you trying to clean? Is it an electric coffee pot where you can not remove the pot to clean it separately. If this is the case they sell a cleaning powder to use in the coffee pot to clean it. Normally when you buy the coffee pot it comes with a few sacks of this powder and they recommend that you use it every few months to keep the pot clean. They normally will sell the cleaning powder in a lot of stores. I do remember seeing it once at a supermarket when I was in the States.
You do not say what type of coffee pot you're using but generally all coffee pots are cleaned with the same solutions.
DIY cleaning methods generally use a mixture of water and white vinegar - ratio of 1//1 or if not cleaned in a long time you may have to start with water one part to vinegar two parts - 1/2 ratio.
It depends on the coffee pot/ maker. If you have the type that has to descale(going through a reservoir water system) there is a product you can buy or if you want to do natural, you can use distilled vinegar and water. All other parts can be cleaned with dish soap and water. Here is link to cleaning procedures - www.goodhousekeeping.com/
To clean a coffee pot or coffee maker, you will need white distilled vinegar, dilute to a50/50mixture,depending on the severity of minerals,etc.needing removal. Run a full pot of the solution through the coffee maker,let sit to help clean&remove stuck on stains from the pot itself,follow by scrubbing thoroughly with dish soap&rinse well with water.
I never use soap in mine--only vinegar, salt and baking soda. Mix up a tablespoon of salt and equal portions of vinger and baking soda (usually about 1/2 cup each. Put the salt, then the baking soda, then the vinegar. It will bubble up. When it is done, I fill the pot with hot water and let it sit overnight. Wipe with a sponge and rinse well. I use the same mix on the outside if there are stains.
You use vinegar. Totally empty pot and fill up with vinegar. Run it thru until cycle finishes. Empty pot and fill with water and then run thru again. Now you cleaned your coffee kettle.
