How do we clean the pot

I rinse out the pot every time I use it, wipe off the outside with dry cloth. Works great for me!

The cover, basket, lid and pump tube can be washed in warm soapy water. Clean the percolator by wiping with clean, damp cloth.

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. :)

Unfortunately, I cannot answer the question since I gave this coffee pot as a gift. Sorry.

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.

I gave this as a gift to a friend who travels but i would think you could clean with Vinegar & water as you would any coffee or tea pot.hope this helps, I have also used baking powder to clean coffee pots.

I use my dish scrubber just like I clean the rest of my pots and pans. Scrub with soap and water then towel dry. Good as new!

I use a simple coffee pot cleaner. Under $5 at the local grocery store. Let it soak for a couple of minutes and viola, clean pot.

There is not much you can do about it. Some say the solution is to coat your pot with dish soap but I have never tried this. Just part of the wilderness experience!

I cleaned my pot after making a brisket with tomato sauce base using a soapy sponge. It cleaned well.

No, but why bother with the dishwasher? I just drop in a drop of dishwashing detergent and swish it out with water and a brush. It's not like it has baked on grease or food... most of the time I just quickly rinse it out and I'm ready for the next pot.

It's very easy to clean. I just rinse it out most of the time, other times I wash it in soapy water. Love this pot

The pot is stainless steel and cleans easily in the dishwasher. The lid and exterior wipe off easily.

You can clean it when u r done. I just wipe down when I am done. I haven't clean the pot part yet. Every 6 month is good for the pot part.

We clean ours with a non abrasive sponge cleaner that holds soap. The scrubbing brushes that hold soap in the handle work fine.

I soak the pot in warm/hot soapy water either overnight or for a few hours. Stuck residue comes off with a few swipes with a scrubbing pad. You can get it off without soaking but it takes a lot more elbow grease. You have to be willing to put up with a little inconvenience in exchange for not getting any of that non-stick coating in your food.

no, I just hand washed and started using it. This is my 2nd pot and I love it.

I personally do not have a dishwasher, but I think handwashing is better for this pot because it is somewhat fragile. I would think it easier to clean inside the spout by hand. Be careful! I read a few testamonials where people said they broke the pot by bumping it too hard on the sink or something.

I don't think we've had to clean it yet. However, if we did I suspect we'd use dish soap and water, as with any other stainless steel pot.

I haven't used the coffee pot yet but I don't remember reading anything in the instructions about how to clean the jets. Could it be they are self cleaning?
