MAPCO coffee container cleaning
Hi,
Does anyone of you have any tips on how to properly clean coffee containers on the inside? Are there any dissolving tablets on the market that can make the job easier?
Thanks!

Hi
Try Bicarb of Soda You can buy it cheap at any Supermarket
Use Lots of It and if possible boil Bottled Water (IE NOT FROM UR TAP)
Leave Overnight to soak and it shud be OK
Ensure you give it a good rinse the next day with lots of water
Shud do the trick
Best of Luck

Not sure if the manufacturer would endorse it, but we've always found filling them with either cold water & bicarbonate of soda or cold water & a small amount of baby bottle sterilising fluid does the trick.
But always give them at least 2 or 3 rinse outs with cold water. Then leave the lid off to air overnight. Also just use the MAPCO for hot water and have a decent thermos jug for the coffee or vice versa.
Or ...... let the F/A sort it

Hi,
the dental tabs are great, so are the tablets for the dish washer.
Always use the hottest water available and give it some time.
If you wish to disinfect it afterwards, use bleach (bad to the gaskets) or concentrated (important) vinegar (not nice to the gaskets, but properly flushed afterwards seldomly a problem).
There are lots of germs surviving even dish washer tablets. Concentrated vinegar is 'liquid armageddon' for most of the germs...
Kind regards,
Peter

Wow, I'm impressed, you guys actually clean your MAPCO's!!
I've always wondered how to get them clean, I just figured that the little chunks of 3 year old coffee were good for flavour.

Clean a MAPCO !! good lord, heaven forbid - actually to be fair, only water goes into our MAPCO's, so other than scale inside i guess no hard flavoursome lumps of old coffee to be found 
Pardon my dumbness, as a matter of interest, what does MAPCO stand for ?? sure i knew once but long since forgotten !!

Many thanks for that VIPFBO !
Guess i never knew the answer looking at your reply - was one of those niggly little questions we sometimes ask each other on a flight but no-one seemed to know the answer ! lmao !

Hi Bral,
You know like others already said here, we never really used to rinse them. What happens is that coffee residu starts to build up inside and it is very hard to actually go in with a brush and wash it all out.
Your suggestion would work really well with a new coffee pot and be consistent rinsing it out.

I have always found that baby bottle cleaner (Milton) works really well for both coffe pots and mapco's. Leave overnight in the coffe pot and it's good as new the next day! Also safe, an' all that good stuff!
(I always wondered what mapco stood for too!!)
