Coffee Question
It's not easy being a non-coffee-drinker in a coffee-drinking world. It's not that I choose to be a non-coffee-drinker. I wish I was a coffee drinker. I love the aroma of coffee. I love the idea of coffee. I want the used coffee grounds for my garden... The problem is that I just don't like the taste of coffee.
Lucky for me, my teenager has taken up coffee. My house smells like coffee every morning! I have coffee grounds for my hydrangeas. I'm finally using up my 15-year-old coffee filters. But I have a burning question: Does the coffee pot have to be washed every day? I'm sorry if this is a disgusting question. So far I've washed the whole thing every day, including the part that holds the coffee filter. But I wonder if it's really necessary. I'm pretty sure our coffee pot at work doesn't get washed every day. Maybe I shouldn't admit that, since we make coffee for our patients. Tell me, coffee drinkers, do you wash your coffee pot every day? If not, how often do you wash it? Please! I need some answers.

At work, the coffee pot only gets washed once a week, and noone has died from it.
They do rinse it out mind you.
I haven't washed my coffee pot in months. Lesson: Don't accept coffee from me. I do rinse it out daily.
Laurita, bothers me none, I'll come over for coffee, but, do you have jelly rolls to go with that coffee? I've been craving them for days, and cannot find them in any grocery store here.
Yay! Another person who feels exactly as I do: I love that smell of coffee, but I can't stand to drink it. The only way I can stomach it is if one loads up the coffee with tons of liquor. I also love to smell the beans. Drinking, though, bleh!
When my parents drink, they rinse daily and wash once a week. Dunno if that helps. My brother in law told me that REAL coffee drinkers just rinse because the soap residue could interfere with the taste.
Hey Juanita,
I'm shut out of Laurita's blog and its killing me! Can you get her to invite me onto her blog?

The coffee pot at work (drip) gets rinsed every day; probably washed once a week. When my mom uses the espresso machine, the coffee press, or the stovetop Moka pot, those all need to be washed to get out the coffee grinds. I think if you use disposable filters and just rinse the pot you'll be ok. Hey, it's all boiling water, right? It just keeps re-sterilizing itself....
Laurita, you closed down your blog before I could email you, and like an idiot I didn't write down your email before going to dinner. Please invite me?
Jen, Just writing to say hello. We worked together way back, and have a few mutual friends.

I passed on this tidbit to Anna yesterday, since she's the one drinking the coffee, but can I suggest the American Restaurant Roasterie blend? It's by far the best coffee blend in the world. You may want to invest in a coffee grinder. I have never washed my grinder in the 15 years that I've owned it. Just wiped it off if someone put some nasty flavored coffee in it.
