How do you clean the lid of the Keurig Contigo Travel Mug?

The newer design has a little snap-tight flap under the lid that you open, then just put it in the dishwasher. I also put the older style lid (without the opening flap) in the dishwasher and haven't had any problems.

It opens up easily and you can run water and soap through.....this is by far the most amazing coffee mug I have ever had! Coffee literally stay hot for hours and the lid never spills....I just throw it in my bag and never worry about it leaking!

I usually just hand wash then pour boiling water on it if it's particularly dirty.

Good question. I don't know if dishwashing is recommended but I've been putting them in top tier of dishwasher with no evident problems for over a couple of years. Because spill proof, it is sealed at the top & you have to depress the button on the side to drink from it. This means (to me) that you should depress the button to clean it. My procedure is to depress seal and rinse under running water, place in dishwasher, open seal after dishwasher done to rinse out any soapy residue from dishwasher water pressure. It sounds complicated but this seems to work out very well. It stays clean (no odors, no funny tastes) and I would buy more of these Contigos when these finally die someday. Good question.

The inside of the lid is hard to clean. So, I put mine in the dishwasher. Eliminated the problem. Hubby loves the cup.

Look up cleaing espresso machines on YouTube. Specifically, wholelattelove has made cleaning instruction videos. Hope that helps.

According to the Thermos website, it is NOT dishwasher safe. I've had no trouble cleaning mine by hand, occasionally with the help of one of the commercial cleaners sold for cleaning coffee-makers.FYI, the gaskets for the lid can be purchased separately (cheap) and replaced as needed. Also, one occasionally wants to pry the lid apart into its components and scrub the inside.

just rinse it well when you empty it, DONT wait. then when its time to wash, put about 4 inches of hot water in it and add a small squirt of dish soap. screw on the lid and shake hard for about 30 seconds. rinse well and done. no stains, no leftover smell. i've had my pair for over 3 years. i use them for iced tea and iced coffee year round.

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. :)

I put mine in the dishwasher for about six months. Just too much work, with all the other non-dishwasher-safe junk to wash. It was perfect but then gradually a screw got loose and the handle got slightly loose and then there was a microscopic leak in the bottom. So I got a new one, don't want to take any chances. It's a drag to have to clean it ( I have big hands and have to put on dishwashing gloves) but it's worth it, since it's such a cool coffee mug. I really do love it. The travel one, unfortunately, has a plastic lip. Not so good....

Sorry I don't know....I do not use these coffee mugs...Buying these was a mistake by me. I use thermos double insulted, stainless double wall. I drive school bus and thermos keeps my coffee keurig hot for 2 hours or more. Contigo lasted less than 45 minutes

The mesh tea holder and lid can both go in the top shelf of the dishwasher, so are very easily cleaned. The carafe section, however, can only be wiped out with a damp rag but I've had mine for several months now and that hasn't really been an issue for me. As far as removing loose tea from the mesh, hold it upside down, give the side a tap and they fall right out!

Just use a brush, etc., and cleaning it is no problem. Just don't spill coffee, juice, sugar laden soft drink, etc on it.

Soak inside with hot tap water, a scoop of dishwasher detergent and, for added benefit, throw in some baking soda. The black innards of my stainless carafe come out sparkling clean every time. It's a miracle! We have had our Cuisinart DTC-975BKN coffeemaker for about ten years and use it two to three times daily. We like it so much that we have ordered another one for backup.

I have had this mug for nearly two years. I wash it in the dishwasher about once a week (I typically only drink black coffee out of it & just rinse it daily). I disassemble the lid pieces & put them in one of the pockets in the silverware basket, and put the lid & mug on the top shelf. I have had zero issues - the lid is still completely water tight when closed, my hot beverages stay hot for about 5-6 hours, and my cold ones stay cold for 9 hours or so.

I always pull off the wand part of the frother and rinse it, and wipe the milk off the part still attached every time I use it. I take off the other attached part and clean the metal part of the wand only every couple of weeks. I do try to keep the gasket wiped off with a sponge, as coffee grounds get stuck in the groove.

Clean everything first with soap & water. Fill the mug 1/2 full with white vinegar & carefully add a few teaspoons of baking soda (depending on the size of your mug). "Carefully" because it will react/expand & pour out all over if done too quickly. Add water until full.A better way to do it, if possible, is I separate my mug from the lid & put them both inside my French Press when cleaning it. Everything stainless steel comes out looking almost brand new, & all the seals etc are clean as well.

I've never taken the lid totally apart. I simply put it into very hot, soapy water, swish it around and use a dish cloth on all the parts that are accessible. Seems to work just fine. We love the mug. Keeps liquids hot for a very long time.

You can buy the lids only if you want to use your old K-cups over. After letting it cool, peel the aluminum foil cover off the used cup. You'll see there is a filter glued to the inside cup. Rinse it out good then let it set and dry.When dry fill the cup with what ever coffee you want not quite all the way to the top" cause you don't want the coffee keeping the lid from sealing", then press the lid on being careful not to collapse the cup in the process. The hole in bottom of the cup won't hurt a thing, it gives the cup an extra drain hole.
