So, what's everyone's favorite coffee?

My favorite coffee is authentic Hawaiian Kona. Unbelievably good...

Moka Pot

Hi,

My loving brother sent me a moka pot for the winter holidays from CA. I love it! However, I've recently noticed that the bottom of the pot where it holds the water has discolorations that are brown, green, and white. The coffee never touches this, just water. Is it my water? We use filtered water every time... I haven't noticed any weird flavors imparted to the coffee. Any ideas?

(TIP) Cleaning an insulated coffee caraffe

Inevitably, the caraffe always seems to take on a film or stain no matter how particular you are at rinsing it out after every use.

Using a brush never seems to reach all of the areas inside and using soap is out of the question.

The easiest way that I found to perfectly clean the insulated coffee caraffe and leave absolutely no residue or taste is:

1) For a 10 cup caraffe: 2 denture cleaning tablets deposited inside.

2) Fill with HOT water to very top and add cap.

3)Let sit overnight (12 or so hours)

4) Rinse several times

You will be amazed what comes out of the coffee caraffe!
