How can I get the coffee taste out of the plastic in my tea brewer. Its all plastic. Will bleach ruin it?

Can you please clarify what type of tea maker, type of plastic piece you're referring to, etc. Different plastics will react with chemicals in a variety of ways especially depending on the temperature at which they are interacting. The more details you can share the better. – nicoleeats Jan 3 at 20:55
I read the title as "...my tea tastes like coffee. blecch!" As in yuck. I agree, that is a terrible thing to do to tea. :) – thursdaysgeek Jan 6 at 5:02

Plain white vinegar is the normal way to remove coffee tastes and stains. Hot vinegar works better
