Big Deal for Beej! Starting my coffee a little late because I waited for delivery on the new 12 cup coffee percolator. So right now I’ve got 8 cups brewing as double brew coffee. Added a new 2 quart LocknLock carafe for leftover coffee and it fits in the refrigerator door. The tall blue travel cup is what I use for 2 1/2 cups or less but now I can go for more. The old 8 cup percolator is right next to the new one so you can see the difference. Oh I like shiny things!

Now I can use just the right one. Btw, a burr grinder is the only way to go for fresh grounds. Also, I have to remind myself that a “cup” in coffee maker terms is only 6 oz. My mugs average 10 oz. I picked out the inaugural mug for today, shared in second photo. #Coffee #Percolator #Shiny

Ritual? I’ve become a coffee connoisseur (at least in my eyes) over the last 5 months since I began using a stovetop percolator. #TipOfDay for keeping your stainless steel pot and parts clean, no coffee oil stains.

Let’s say this photo is a still life study. Forgot to finish cleaning the percolator and parts last night after letting it soak with the pot full of water, parts inside, with 1 tablespoon of baking soda.

In the morning I scrub all with a mix of my 3 favorite dishwashing accessories: fine nail brush for delicate areas, sturdy brush with medium-soft bristles and a mesh net nylon cloth cut in smaller pieces. It’s all still super clean and shiny 5 months out from daily use brewing coffee from fresh ground beans.

A couple more tips in comments. And please do add your tips of any sort here. Nice to initiate this hashtag in top of post. I had it
going over a year in my old instance. And these #Coffee #Cleaning #Shiny.
