I clean our coffee pot this way. Start with boiling hot water and baking soda, scrub with a brush for a few minutes, dump, add water and a little vinegar. Scrub and add a bit more vinegar. It takes less than 5 minutes and almost looks brand new after.

I think you maybe confusing the definition of the warranty. May want to check each of it's terms and conditions. I feel you got lucky with herschel. You got two backpacks for free.

I use dishwasher detergent and boiling water. Let it sit over night.

Exactly ! I live in France and I use a bleach based gel that is coating things. It literally just takes seconds to achieve the job on heavy cafein stained pot and thermos

I second the Global knives. Also their minosharp sharpeners. Just make sure the angle matches the angle of your knives because Global makes western and Japanese angle blades. The combo is fantastic.

I have a couple of Global knives along with their minosharp sharpening system, and they've been laser sharp since I got them four or five years ago. It's an incredible combo.

60:40 H²o²:liquid dish soap. Small squirt smeared inside will allow the peroxide to clean ceramic also. Same for any pink areas on the sink

Yes, they suck!

Here you get 70% or 99%. Both work but I’ll never use 70% again unless I am desperate lol

You can buy 90-91% isopropyl alcohol at any store pretty much. Usually in the pharmacy area. It's cheap too. That and some kosher or other large grain salt works well for cleaning many things. The salt won't dissolve in the alcohol.

I second this. You won't even have to scrub. It'll melt away and even swishing the container you'll watch the coffee lift off. It's food safe and harmless on stainless steel.

This is maybe a more cheap redneck engineering approach - beefiest steel wool/metal dish scrubber, bar keepers friend and back end of a wooden spoon?
Seems like the grit combo of the above could be helpful since it looks caked on.
Maybe follow up with the coffee or denture clear the rest of the folks offered as advice

Salt and ice, that is how my mom and grandma removed coffee stains from glass coffee pots.

Don't forget to dry the residue and smoke it again.
DON'T DO THIS

I had this exact problem and used baking soda with a little water and then just used a scrubbing sponge . It worked like magic, inside looked like new .

It’s the civilian version of a robocoupe. They know a thing or two about food processors for restaurants. In fact, they’re so ubiquitous that’s it’s just called a “robocoupe” in the food service industry. Not a food processor.

You’ll want 18/10 3-ply stainless (5 and 7 ply cost too much and take too long to head up, not worth the added cost IMO.)
Check out Demeyere, American Kitchen, All-Clad.
Depending on how big of a soup pot and large pan you want, you may be better off at a restaurant supply store for those.

But- has yours cracked yet? I’ve seen a lot of people comment about this, but never seen it as a real issue, beyond boots that have lived on construction sites and are totaled all around. I picked up a pair of Thorogoods (my first pair of GYW shoes) about 2 months ago and have walked at least 150+ miles in them so far and don’t really see the welt being an issue (after all, at least it can be replaced if needed, ha).
