ahhh, morning coffee…
the stainless steel thermal mug that i bought several months ago has been very useful in keeping my coffee warm and, because of a mechanical snap closure, doesn’t allow me to easily spill the contents.

months have gone by and i hadn’t really considered the consequences of an all-too-fancy lid that is all-too-difficult to adequately clean. thorough soaping and rinsing, but no internal scrubdown. when the usual flow of caffeinated liquid seemed paltry at best, i figured the slick technology of my treasured mug had come to the end of usefulness.

first i soaked the lid in hot vinegar water (half a dozen courses) and then rinsed and rinsed. chunks of coffee-colored cheese were dislodging themselves slowly. it seemed that i had been sipping my hot beverages through a gelatinous wall of old milk and sugar remnants. i went right to work scraping the interior chamber with whatever i could get inside: the handle of a spoon, the corner of a scrubbing sponge, q-tips, wads of paper towels. i hosed and hosed away at that congealed crud until all i could see was shiny black plastic.

what’s in your coffee cup?

  2. Just what is numba5 getting at here? old-school training? Shit girl… old school, new school, true school, fool school. The Gehner boys got mad knowlege on lock. Ingenuity is the never ending fountain that keeps our mental porcelain train runnin’ full steam. The destination isn’t always easy but the driving is: Shut up and shake hands with the burgermeister.

  4. Dammit, Greg.

    John has annoyed me for years now with his persistent hoarding of old toothbrushes to be used for exactly the job you describe. He takes apart every crevice of Lily’s child-proof cups, my thermos, all insulated drinkware-down to the rubber-band thing that encircles the lids-and scrubs with the vigor only a Gehner intent on cleansing the world of sin can muster.

    I guess I can’t make fun of his madness any longer. And I’m afraid to look inside my coffee cup at work.

  7. Hi. In the future I’m going to keep here links to their sites. But I do not worry about the sites where my link is removed. So if you do not want to see a mountain of links, simply delete this message. After 2 weeks, I will come back and check.
