Coffee pot had old coffee with mold growing in it, i washed it with scalding water, do you think it is okay?

i cant afford another one and my hubby lives on coffee. Do you think that washing it and putting it through the dishwasher will be good or should he live without coffee at home?Coffee pot had old coffee with mold growing in it, i washed it with scalding water, do you think it is okay?
Well I guess that all depends on how long it has been sitting there, and if it was made of glass or plastic?





Glass will obviously be fine if you wash it in hot water, but depending on how long the mold has set on the plastic......well then I might consider getting a new one?





Good luck.Coffee pot had old coffee with mold growing in it, i washed it with scalding water, do you think it is okay?
Some dishwasher detergents have bleach which will definitely sanitize the coffee maker parts whether plastic, metal, or glass. Probably the way you cleaned it is fine. I believe we've had the same problem once or twice and had no ill effects after sending it through the dishwasher.





Another thing you could do - is join your local Free Cycle group and see if anyone offers a coffee maker. You'll be amazed at the items people give away for various reasons. To join you log onto the site at: http://www.freecycle.org. You'll fill out a brief questionnaire. To join in my area we then had to describe why we wanted to join. I put ';to keep usable items out of the landfills';.
It's fine to use.... You can run 1 cup of white vinegar through the coffee maker then run plain water through it. Do this once in a while to clean out the inside of your coffee maker too.
yes.


you're fine
