How Often Do You Wash Your Coffee Cup?!
So, how often do you wash your coffee cup?
Answers: I worked with a guy who said he didn't wash his coffee cup often, because everytime he washed it he got rid of the 'petina' that had built up, and the coffee didn't taste quite the same because of the soap.
So, how often do you wash your coffee cup?
I wash mine when I get an opportunity since it usually has coffee in it all day.
As far as your co-workers excuse, if he uses plastic lined cup, yeah, it's hard to keep the soapy taste out without really hot water and lots of it. However by allowing the coffee oils to remain in the cup and build upon itself, even a stainless steel or ceramic cup will be hard to clean and get rid of the objectionable soap taste. What happens is the oil build up isn't completely removed by some soaps. And the oils suck up the soap and allow it to seep into the next cup of hot coffee. I had to stop drinking coffee in a lot of restaurants because of this problem. Also some of the restaurants just don't do a good job of cleaning their cups. That's when you get that little rainbow in the cup of coffee.
Your co-worker should also be made aware that coffee scrunge is organic and susceptible to growth.
daliy,rinse it good
After every use.
I wash it for each time it is used
Everytime I drink from it.
After every use.
I washed mine every day when I was a coffee drinker... I am a germ-a-phobe though...
Ew. I drink a **** ton of coffee so it's a rare moment in time when there isn't coffee in my cup but I try to wash it every day!
I don't drink coffee, but you wash my coffe cup everyday after each use.
Twice or three times a day, it all depends how much I do drink.
I rinse it out for every use and once a week I scrub it with cleanser to get rid of the scum.
Never heard of what it's called... but whatever it is that builds up in your cup is some flavorful stuff!
So only when my coworkers steal it and wash it for me!
after every use of course!
Every day. It's disgusting to see people who have stained and bacteria ridden cups. As long as you rinse something after washing you will not have soap residue to affect the taste.
A coworker of mine is the same way. One day we cleaned it without him knowing, and lets just say all hell broke loose. He had to get another from home. Why you ask? Who knows?
Every time I use it. You don't want coffee oils to build up because it will make the coffee taste more bitter. So you should at the very least give in a good rinse.
If the coffee cup has soap in it, then the fellow is not rinsing it very good.
if you rince out the soap, that shouldnt be a problem. I make a point to at least rince my cup if the coffee's dried, and wash it at least every couple days. It's possible to get yourself sick from your own germs, so that's one thing to consider. I also don't like the idea that something could be growing and living in it... it should at least be sanitised with boiling water (not just coffee hot) regularly. which i suppose is fine if the entire cup gets treated and rinced.
every day. But my Dad didn't like for his coffee pot or cup to be washed very often.
after I drink my coffee
i put my cup in the dishwasher after i use it once ! that's it .if i have another cup of tea or coffee i take a clean mug .i have never used same cup for a second cup of tea or coffee.
I wash my coffee cup everytime I use it, because my coffee cup is made of porcelain.
But now, I am curious, please give me an email telling what means ( petina ), because I don′t know what is it.
I am Brazilian.
