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…
wait, do all of you wash your coffee cup regularly?
Daily dishwasher.
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.
I like to drink coffee from a posh glass. I use a clean one each time. My wife dislikes the practice but I often tell her, if this is my most incongruent habit then things are pretty great honestly.
And then she’s like “if this was your most incongruent habit….”
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.
i had a hearty chuckle
Nah, once every few days is sufficient.
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.
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!
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.
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.
