How to clean Glass Decanters Used in Making Coffee or Tea
Water can leave a whitish mineral deposit or a brownish deposit stain in the bottom and sides of your glass decanter you use to make coffee or tea. To clean these deposits take a solution of equal parts of white household vinegar and Hot, not boiling, water and leave in the decanter for 20 to 30 minutes then discard. Wash your decanter with regular dish soap, rinse and dry with a soft dish towel. NEVER use a harsh abrasive on your coffee maker glass or thermal decanter.
Speaking of thermal decanters, you can also use household white vinegar and hot, not boiling water to clean thermal stainless steel decanters or travel mugs. Do Not Use this recipe on aluminum mugs as they are not made of the same aluminum that is used to make coffee urns. This recipe is also great for commercial 12 cup glass decamters.

Decanters, Airpots and Airpot Racks
We have all heard these terms, but how are they defined by the commercial industry. Decanters are for the most part glass coffee containers. When they are used for homes, we call them carafes or glass coffee pots. These glass coffee containers need a warmer of some kind to keep the coffee hot. For household use, some coffee makers offer a warming plate to keep the coffee hot with the coffee maker. For commercial purposes, single double and triple warming plates are available in multiple configurations when the coffee maker does not provide a surface to keep the decanter warm or the decanter needs to be in another place to serve the coffee.
Airpots are vacuum insulated thermo-glass lined containers that maintain the temperature of a hot or cold beverage for up to eight hours. Some have lever or push top to dispense the beverage. These 2.2 liter size airpots fit in airport racks that have a number of configurations and may or may include a place for condiments or a fresh coffee sign.

All 2.2 liter airpots swivel for convenience to the customer or user such as a waitress.
