Since I am not accidentallyThose single-serve Keurig and Nespresso machines are not immune to gag-worthy morning microbes either.
I guess it makes sense. Germs and mold grow well in moist, dark places and while coffee makes my dark soul a bit lighter, the pot that it is brewed in is perpetually damp. I take my coffee pot for granted and don’t care for it the way it takes care of me. Pollen and dust collects on the top; splatter and grounds gather at the base, and the glass carafe is stained. I knew I was kind of messy, but I didn’t realize I was encouraging a petri dish of infections waiting to happen.
