It takes me weeks to properly season a cup. Then the wife has to go use soap and water on it.

Bleach it.

Always.

The wife barely uses hers once. Then off to the dishwasher it goes. She doesn't even drink a cup.
Me, I don't drink coffee. I drink Mountain Dew in the morning.

That nasty residue is from sparingly-soluble oils that crash out of solution when your hot coffee cools and their solubility decreases. They make your coffee bitter.

I do. I just washed one a few minutes ago, actually.

I use stainless steel. A quick rinse between refills is all it needs.

When I've got a full load in the dishwasher, I'll toss it in.

Wash? Pffft.

A tablespoon of bleach, wait a cupla minutes, rinse and re-use.

If you think COFFEE leaves a "seasoning", you should see black tea

It's sometimes hard to believe that the stuff is so good for you.

Yes.

Because I prefer cream or milk in my coffee. If I only drink black, then no.
As I grow older, I get heartburn more and more frequently. Black coffee will give me heartburn unless I use milk.

It sucks.

Posted: 9/11/2010 8:02:46 AM EDT

[#13]

I wash mine after every use.

Me.
I wash my coffee cups.
I like fresh black coffee from a clean fresh cup - I don't want to taste yesterdays crust.....

When and if I drink any, I always wash them.

Rinse only! My French press and coffee cup only get rinsed daily, washed bimonthly or so.

That's what the brandy is for.

It keeps the milk from 'turning'.

Of course, drinking 2-3 cups before leaving for work complicates things....

I didn't know they could be "seasoned". But I don't drink much coffee.

[#22]

yeah my dad subscribes to that theory. Then one of the cups he has floating around started growing mold that grew out of the gup

This is why you have one cup. Your favorite cup. If you drink coffee daily this won't happen. The pot only gets a warm water rinse also.

I don't clean my plates either. I find that the dried food stuck to them adds flavor to my current meal.

Use this and no one will care if your cup or pot is dirty.

If its yellow, let it mellow. If its brown, flush it down.

I wash my coffee cups, but mainly because I also drink tea in them.

I use a insulated stainless steel coffee mug everyday and also use it for my drinking cup for the rest of the day, also works well for ice cream.

I always keep it clean since I use it for all my drinks, water, milk , juice, coffee, ice cream

Do you at least rinse it with H20?

We wash our coffee cups in the dishwasher. I like to contribute to global warming as much as possible.

Posted: 9/11/2010 9:28:00 AM EDT

Nope. Mine is so seasoned that all I have todo is add water

It took me nearly 5 years to convince her not to wash my jeans every damned day....I still haven't gotten her to leave my coffee cup alone...

Posted: 9/11/2010 9:36:40 AM EDT

[#39]

I rinse and put it open end down on a clean dish towel with the other glasses that see frequent use.

I hate coffee with a passion. I hate the smell and the taste.
So... wash your dirty smelly grimy coffee cups.

Ha Ha That reminds me. When I was on the Uss Lockwood we had a Cheif Bosuns Mate that was a real prick. Someone got the bright idea to throw his coffee cup overboard. I never thought we were going to see liberty call again.

I always wondered about the fools at work.

They always used to leave their coffee cups just sitting around the shop. Sometimes the cups were empty, sometimes they had an inch of wretched liquid in them, some were almost full.

I never once considered that people were actually "seasoning" their coffee cups, but it does not matter.

I ALWAYS made it a point to throw away every fucking coffee cup I ever saw in the shop unless it was being firmly gripped by the person drinking it.

One of our guys took a greenie meanie to a chief's cup and he went ballistic and tried to take him to Captain's Mast.

Not that I would have ever dirty dicked Chiefs mug

Once on active duty myself and another guy washed our chief's coffee cup because we were pissed at him.

We played it off like we thought we were doing him a favor, but I don't think we fooled anybody.

That thing had several years of seasoning before we got our mitts on it.
