How to Clean and Care for Your Stainless Steel Coffee Shaker

Quick answer

Hand wash your BlenderBottle Stainless Steel Shaker with warm soapy water and a soft brush, then deep clean with baking soda or vinegar to remove coffee stains and odors.

Step-by-step cleaning guide

1. Rinse immediately after use: Empty any leftover coffee and rinse the shaker with warm water. This prevents protein residue from drying and sticking. Don't let the shaker sit unrinsed for more than 30 minutes — dried protein is harder to remove.
2. Hand wash with mild soap and a bottle brush: Fill the shaker with warm water and a drop of dish soap. Scrub the inside, lid, and threads with a soft bottle brush. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive sponges or steel wool — they can scratch the matte black finish and create hiding spots for bacteria.
3. Deep clean to remove coffee stains and odors: Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with warm water to form a paste. Apply it inside the shaker, let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub and rinse. For stubborn smells, fill with equal parts white vinegar and water, soak for 30 minutes, then wash normally. Never use bleach or chlorine-based cleaners — they can damage stainless steel and leave a chemical taste.
4. Dry completely before storing: Remove the lid and let the shaker air dry upside down on a dish rack. If you need it sooner, dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Storing the shaker while still damp can cause musty odors even after cleaning.
