If you use one of the numerous drip coffee makers, you could run some vinegar
thru it, which would help keep the lime from building up in it, and then pour
the hot vinegar in your thermos and let it sit for a while. You will need to
rinse both well, or you'll be left with a vinegar taste.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Dan or others,
Hi,
Maybe it took too long, but I finally got my Handyman thermos Two weeks
ago.
Steel, double walled with a 12oz steel cup.
I'm saving $2 a day and it can take a beating.
I'm sure to have it with me more than just to my non-fix-it job but
thankfully to any outside project.
However, Dan and others, it has that very familiar Canteen smell.
You guys must know that smell.
I've used it now for 8 days, and that smell went away for the most part
after 5. But is was heavily in the coffee. It's still there, and I'm
thinking $2 a day (makes the coffee cost $33.90 a pound at D&D) is
starting to sound good as I'm not happy with that as a taste in my fine
etheopean coffee from home.
Help, what gets that smell out of a canteen or steel liquids vessel?
Thanks
