Reply to comment by aung_myint in My collection of US Made Stanley Aladdin vacuum bottles. Left to right: 2001, 1989, 1969, and 1990. All still work flawlessly. by Psnuggs

Bottle brushes work well. I usually fill with boiling water and a little white vinegar and let it sit for 10-15 min and then scrub with a bottle brush and rinse.

Do you think that works better than baking soda/boiling water? In your experience with white vinegar, does it taint the taste?

The vinegar kills bacteria and breaks down any coffee stain residue which is why I use it. I rinse mine out and then fill it half full, put the lid on, shake it vigorously, and drain it upside down in my drying rack. Never had a tainted taste. I clean my percolating coffee maker the same way.
