How do you clean the inside glass tube on this system?

Beings how the glass tube is sealed with o-rings, I wouldn't think you should have to clean the inside of the tube. If the outside is dirty, I think a filter before the light would be the answer.

I am not sure you would have to especially if you install a filter before it however if you don't they sell replacement tubes.I would think if it is that dirty a filter would be my first concern.

I clean all my glass bottles/jars with a paper towel. Just squirt some soap on the towel, wipe around the inside of the cap, the mouth and plop the towel inside the jar, add a little water, cover the mouth with your hand and shake back and forth (top to bottom)...works great, thorough, fast...rinse and done! A paper towel is clean each time instead of using possible bacteria-laden sponges or brushes and it gets into all the crevices.

Once a week I clean the inside of the machine body with a tablespoon of vinegar and fill the rest with water, letting it sit for 20 minutes and then wipe it out with a paper towel. The top that comes with the clear plastic I put in the dishwasher. The plastic tube also goes in the dishwasher along with the two pieces it's attached to but I separate the tube from both pieces. So far so good. I don't know that this is right.

Cleaning the infuser tube is easy with a bottle brush. Do not put into dishwasher.

Very easy. Remove two large thumb screws on top, remove the metal cap that secures the glass and remove each glass for cleaning. No tools needed. It's a simple design. Works well. Haven't had to clean mine yet. I suspect a couple of times a year would be sufficient, but I'm not a cleanoholic either.

I have no idea. I've always cleaned the entire unit. I'm not sure I want to separate the tip from the tube.

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 typically clean the residue left with windex . But the glass does contine to soot up I'm afraid .

I wash these glass straws in the dishwasher all the time, but the best way to get them clean on the inside is use the pipe-cleaner-like instrument the company sells.

Fill it up with isopropyl until the internal glass tube is submerged, let it sit for as long as you can, see it helps. .. temporarily

I just soak it in hot, soapy water then use a soft brush/bottle brush to gently clean it. Carefully rinse the tube and screen.

We clean our glass lined Thermos by putting in about 1/4 cup of baking soda & then filling it with really hot water. We put the pump in place, close it up and let it set for a day or so. This will loosen any built up coffee film. Before we rinse it we pump a few pumps of the baking soda solution through everything. After pouring out the baking soda/water mixture we rinse it with really hot water and pump some through the pump system. You can tell by looking in the Thermos if the glass liner is clean. If it's stained really badly you may have to repeat the process. Doing this whenever you notice a film starting to build will keep the liner clean and improve the taste of your coffee!

It depends on how thorough you want to be. You can just run soapy water through the system and be done. I like to soak the nozzle parts, the hand piece, and hoses and scrub everything clean. To me, it's worth it to know it will be ready to go next time I drag it out.

I usually used one of those soap-dispensing sponge brushes with dish soap and scrubbed the inside. I also wash the orange gasket and lid parts. Not sure about the nozzle parts, though.

Fill a bowl with rubbing alcohol. Take the glass pieces apart and submerge. Soak. This should help. Some thicker oils are harder to clean. I run lemon through mine after a clean.

That's a good question...I've never cleaned the inside. The lid is large enough that unless your hand is really large, you should be able to maneuver a cloth inside and use a standard dish soap if you needed to clean it. I suppose if you had a lot of buildup because of water quality, you could just soak with vinegar, then rinse, rinse, rinse. Or use any other calcium or lime cleaner made for metal. Hope this helps...
