After a good rinsing out, we've just had a crackin' breakfast cuppa!  :thumbup:

The problem, is a build up of tannin, between the body of the pot, and the tapered spout. Below the holes.

I used to take it to work, "annually", and give it a good blast out with the 110psi airline. Been retired for 7yrs now........

I'll invest in a small pack of dishwasher tabs. Guess they don't taste of wash powder!  :lol:

I've found that leaving 500mls of lemon juice overnight in the kettle leaves it sparkling clean (the bottom anyway), Don't boil it without watching it like a hawk, it has the tendency to froth up and over flow your kitchen worktop. Works very well for thermos flasks too.

Also if it leaves a taste, at least it is not a foul one  :thumbup:

And guess what lemon juice is primarily - yes you guessed - Citric Acid  :beer:
