Make sure you fill water below the spout opening. You could also try cleaning it with 1/4 cup vinegar and fill with water just below opening and run full cycle. Then empty and make fresh pot of coffee.

After cleaning with the regular glass stove cleaner, I spray mine with Windex mixed with white vinegar then polish it with a clean cloth. Works pretty good.

I use Twinkle brass and copper cleaning kit. It's very easy to use and brings the kettle back to new condition. You can buy it from Amazon, too.

Just soap and water and steel wool if needed. Aluminum pots get naturally darken over time. Mine is very dark on the bottom now. Its not caked on like with a cast iron pot. It's just the metal itself gets darker, which is expected with aluminum. This is how every aluminum pot I've ever cooked with in a restaurant has looked. Its normal

My answer would be to reheat it in the microwaveable cup you drink from...I don't know if the pot is microwaveable and I sure wouldn't want to break it so as I do with coffee and tea I microwave it for a short time but don't boil it...it should be fine.

I just use SOS inside and on parts once a week, rinse thoroughly. or you can buy a coffee soak product that you put in add water and perk. the newer pot though cleans easy with SOS. Mine still shines and we use it daily

A couple rinses of the plunger and container to get rid of the coffee grounds is obviously required. I also recommend a quick wipe of the inside of the container afterwards to ensure that there is no coffee stains or "rings" remaining.

Like any pan, you can try filling it part way with water and a large scoop (1/4 c.?) of baking soda. Bring it to a boil then let it rest for a while. After that, a non-metal spatula or other device capable of scraping without causing damage will generally remove the burned on substance.

I purchased mine from a reputable discount home store at a discount a few years back. I have hardly used it. Last week I seared a filet mignon in it with balsamic vinegar for a total cook time of about 10 minutes. I soaked the pot overnight and tried to scrub it with a bristled brush the next morning, but this one time cooking something like this (usually use it for pasta) stained the bottom. Not sure how to get it off. I also saw a presumably older one at the flea market the other week that was also stained.

Fill the base with water up to the relief valve. Fill the strainer with espresso ground coffee, do not pack the coffee grounds. Put pot together snug but do not over tighten. Place on burner on medium heat. Try to have the handle to the side of the burner so it does not get too hot. Pay attention to the pot, you will be able to hear it when it starts brewing. When you hear it blowing steam bubbles in the pot it is done, take it off the heat. Ready to serve.

I have owned three of these coffee pots. One had the same problem. I had to pull out the instructions and follow them exactly. This particular pot required cleaning OFTEN. I hope this helps.

Just clean it with hot water & a scrubber or brush, heat it on stove to dry it & put a light coat of veggie oil on it

Just wash the removable pieces as usual. Then squirt some dish soap into the coffee pot, add some hot water and wash the inside with your dish cloth or sponge and rinse it out. Then I dry everything and put it back together so it's ready for the next pot of coffee. It's really very easy to care for. Hopes that helps. :)

Bit of dish soap and steaming hot water. Shake it up and pour out like you would pour out coffee. Also use a baby bottle brush if needed to get to the very bottom if stuck on gunk. Key is to rinse immediately with water after use to avoid smells.

We used Dawn to wash the coffee pot and lightly wipe down the outer surface with a damp wash cloth. The interior can be de-limed if you have hard water, but I used another Bunn coffee maker for 10 years without ever needing to de-lime it.
