Or you could use the old restaurant coffee pot cleaning method: put a little shaved or small pieces of ice in, along with some lemon juice, swirl it around a few times and then rinse with water. Works like a charm on cooked on coffee and other grime at the bottoms of jars.

Greetings: How do you get the "dirt" out of the bottom of the feerer? Tooth brush can't possibly reach it all. Black "dirt" does not all come out with a tooth prush. Is there some solution that helps remove the black spots. Rev. Forest V.
