There’s probably no need to wash out that stained mug, the one with more rings in it than the stump of an oak tree. It’s perfectly safe to refill your dirty cup — provided you’re not sharing it with others, according to infectious disease expert Jeffrey Starke. Here’s why you do NOT need to clean your coffee cup every day!
Infectious disease expert Jeffrey Starke, a pediatrics professor at Baylor College of Medicine, tells The Wall Street Journal that even though there might technically be germs in an unwashed coffee cup, it’s fine because they are yours. These germs, even if you’re sick, won’t hurt you again if you drink out of the same mug.
Ask anyone who refuses to wash their coffee mug, and they might tell you it’s a matter of pride. Maybe it’s superstition, maybe it’s just laziness. You’d probably never hear someone say that by not washing it they’re actually keeping in clean, but it might just be the truth.
Wash or give the mug a good rinse if that’s the case, he suggested. Otherwise, drink without fear! That’s not to say that germs aren’t crawling all over that dirty coffee cup.
· To preserve the shelf life of your coffee and ensure the freshest-tasting cup, it is recommended that you store beans in a sealed canister, jar, or container in a cabinet away from direct sunlight.

· Once the wash is complete, the next step is to isolate it from the plant material for further processing by first straining, then filtering. Straining is straight forward, but filtering may be as simple as a couple coffee filters or beginning down the rabbit hole with slightly more complicated, finer filtration equipment depending on the desired end product, required quality, …
· In filter coffee, as the temperature drops, drinkers note that the aroma and flavours they experience change. The same is true of espresso. As you go down the cup, you will start to notice different scents and flavours. If you rush your tasting or abandon it after the first sip, you can easily miss them.
· L. reuteri doubles (1 microbe becomes 2, 2 becomes 4, 4 becomes 8, etc.) every 3 hours at 100 degrees F. Fermenting for 36 hours therefore permits 12 doublings, rather than the single doubling permitted by brief conventional fermentation. This is why we obtain greater than 200 billion CFUs (bacterial counts) per 1/2-cup serving.
· A pro tip is to use it to clean my eraser heads by rubbing your white eraser toppers over it to brighten them up. I never wash my Absorene pads with soap and water, I simply toss them out when they looked soiled and get a new one. Some brave souls use a Magic Eraser as an alternative, but strongly consider not doing that. A Magic Eraser is the …

· Amazing piece. Written poetically and pragmatically and poignantly. The sun is now shining obliquely on my computer screen. And although my half-filled cup of coffee is now cold, it is still rich and delicious and … well, a gift to me. As is this day. This moment. Thank you David.
· As I contorted my face and became annoyed, Kim Woo-jin, who was standing next to me, began to pay attention. I took a deep breath and moved carefully so as to not step on the broken glass. “I’m going to wash up first. I’m sorry, but please clean up the broken cup.” I desperately needed a cold shower more than ever before.
