Here is a neat trick to cleaning the burned coffee in the bottom of your coffee decanter.
You will need ice cubes,iodized salt and some water. Make sure the decanter has cooled completely and that the coffee is indeed dried at the bottom. Now pour enough salt to cover the burnt coffee at the bottom of the pot Next, drop in four to six ice cubes on top of the salt in the carafe. Next, add enough water to barely cover the ice cubes in the coffee pot. Start swishing the ice around and around. You will soon see the burnt coffee disappear.
