It’s less work than having to scrub them again after they go through the wash.
Use a sponge and 5 seconds later your cup is clean again even without the dishwasher 😲
Are you loading your dishwasher with powdered detergent? I used to have this problem back when I was using liquid, but it went away entirely when I switched to powder.
I have never experienced that my dishwasher didn’t fully remove all the traces of coffee… No matter whether it’s black coffee, with milk, espresso, café latte, with or without sugar/syrup…
A tip in this video may help you: https://youtu.be/jHP942Livy0
A dishwasher should have no problem with dried on coffee, unless it’s something unfortunate in the material of the mug. But it seems it’s not too hard for you to hand wash, so I would expect one of the tips in the video might help!
I saw this video and it doesn’t correlate to my dishwasher experience. I get worse results the more stuff I leave on my dishes. I use liquid detergent, not pods or powder. And I fill the pre-rinse reservoir.
wait, do all of you wash your coffee cup regularly?
I wash mine every few months. In between washes I sometimes pick off the lip gunk. I know The navy takes it a little more seriously though.
My wife uses approximately eleventy mugs a day for who knows what purpose, and fills up the top dishwasher rack.
Daily dishwasher.
I’ve found that a quick spin on the lathe every six months or so is totally sufficient. It’s usually time when I start to notice that the remaining volume is down to one or two espressos and the cup is able to provide a good cup of Joe despite only receiving hot water.
Yes I am kidding.
But yes, for science I’ve also cleaned a stainless steel cup that way.
A rinse and maybe a wipe.
We have a rack of coffee mugs and wash them in the dishwasher after each use like other dishes. Sometimes I handwash one to use again.
Nah, once every few days is sufficient.
I am not gonna go overboard and call what I do a “wash”. Soap usually doesn’t enter the picture.
If it’s not had a warm coffee in it for approximately 4h, it’s dirty and I need a new cup.
If I happen to regularly have coffees in the same cup over 12h and I’m going for another, the mug is still fine
I don’t make the rules
Yeah, I like a little creamer in mine, so that whole “it’ll be part of tomorrows coffee” thing means old dried dairy 🤢
Coffee cheese!
Creamer is actually non-dairy. Not that I’m advocating not cleaning it out of your cup, but an interesting tidbit nonetheless.
Once a week.
If you’re not going to rinse it right away, always fill your empty cup with warm water. Better yet, rinse and put it in the dishwasher right away. Takes about the same amount of time.
Off topic but I recently bought a mug from the thrift store are ran it through the dishwasher 4 times before I realized the speckles on the bottom are part of the mug.
You made me chuckle, buddy. Thanks for that.
For when you’re done fucking around and want to reset your entire coffee situation to zero: Barkeep’s Friend.
Baking soda and a little water clean off coffee stains as well, plus they don’t require me to wear gloves since no harsh chemicals.
Black glazed mug and black coffee; the extra stuff is clinching your ascension
those melamine white sponge things are great at getting out coffee and tea residue from mugs
A soak with a denture cleanser like kleenite will remove coffee and tea stains. So will OxiClean, though It also contains detergents, so make sure you rinse with hot water. Or, if you homebrew, Powdered Brewery Wash works too.
Also works on teapots, travel mugs, thermoses, tea infusers… especially if you had a sugary drink in a travel mug, let it sit too long and now you can’t get the rotten stink out. Separate the gasket so the cleanser can get behind it and just soak everything.
I use denture tablets and they work great. My dishes are all white bone china and will occasionally pick up stains and denture cleaner tablets for an hour is the trick that cleans them back to looking like new.
Do you all add some kind oft milk and/or sugar to your cup that you have to clean so thoroughly? Or just a shitty dish cleaner with bad water?
In my office, I take at the start of the week one cup, use it every day until last day, put it in the dish washer and after the weekend it’s clean.
I also have a piece of garbage dishwasher. The soap dispenser gets stuck on dinner plates if I load them in front. Whirlpool go eat a bag of dicks.
Sprinkle a little baking soda in the bottom with a small amount of water and scrub it for a few seconds and that will get it nice and clean.
I currently have four empty coffee cups at my desk, and I’ll reuse whichever one I feel like without washing it at all.
