I used to work for a company that got a contract to refurbish the machines that processed the powder at a well known instant coffee manufacturers, which were constructed from 316 grade stainless steel. When we got them back to our premises they were brown from coffee powder settling on them over a long period of time, we pressure washed an steam cleaned them then carried out the modifications. After the rework, we re-beadblasted them all over, and even after all that, you could tell what was old steel as it STILL had a brown tinit to it

Plus, even now - nearly seven years later - the stains on the car park where we steam-cleaned them are as clear as anything

In, summary, you'll be lucky if you can get the stains out of your flask

Squirt a bit of bleach in and fill it up with water.

Obviously not forgetting to wash out well before re-using...

ITS A FLASK - YOU PUT COFFEE OR TEA IN

Does it really matter if its stained, after all, who's going to see it?
