Cleaning the coffee pot?

[SCT]

G200, I thought your FA wiped the struts down?

Hold on - before this gets out of hand and devolves into a "duties thread" - I made my "washing the coffee pot comment" in jest. See And I don't know about the rest of you, but the "unwritten" coffee pot standards where I come from are completely different when one compares coffee pots from the shop/hanger and the ones in the home/plane/office. And that's all I got to say about that...

Boiling water and a box of baking soda and let soak overnight.

A 2 page thread in less than a day and it's about coffee pots. Way to take it to the next level FI!

She doesn't even clean the coffee maker, lol.

BTW - I'd trust nobody with my Grumman struts, that's a job for a dedicated corporate pilot like myself....its almost as important as checking the expiration date on the potato chips.

Chips have an expiration date?????

Baking soda with water works beautifully, esp.on glass pots.

If you've ever ate chips that were out of date you'd know. Like taking a bite out of your pitot tube. But that's another thread.

Used to do this when I worked in restaurants. Squeeze of lemon, kosher salt, and ice cubes. Swirl it around for a minute and rinse. Good as new and without using stuff like comet.

Wait to one of those overpaid regional pilot’s chimes in with how degrading it must be to live as a corporate pilot.

I wouldn't think using Comet and or CLR or even simple green would be good ways to clean something that holds a consumable liquid that people drink. Sounds kind of toxic and poisonous to me. The vinegar method sound the best way. At least it is all natural.

simple green is non-toxic and coffee pot cleaning is a recommended use on their website (I agree they want to sell a product).

Comet, etc, yes, toxic

Pitot tubes have an expiration date?
