We had a cappuccino machine, I thought my wife kept cleaning the crispy dried milk off the steamer spout, she thought I was doing it. A year later, after coffee every morning, we found out the cat was licking it off when we were at work.
JUST WIPE IT OFF WITH A DAMP CLOTH YOU FUCKING HEATHENS ITS NOT THAT HARD
Edit for context: I am a barista. All you have to do is have a damp cloth on hand when you finish steaming the milk to wipe down the wand. Takes maybe 30sec total, including finding and dampening the cloth before you start.
TEXT HARDER SO THEY CAN READ YOU
IM TEXTING AS HARD AS I CAN
You remind me of my ex wife.
He reminds me of her too.
Naaah. The wife will do it.
If you're not wiping it off immediately after usage, you don't deserve to have an espresso machine.
This thing is probably nasty af if they are treating it like that.
Years ago at work we had a office type coffee machine with the filter carrier you pull out and dump.
The water flow to the filter got slower and slower until it was taking forever to make a pot. I finally broke down and took it apart to clean the calcium deposits out of it.
Turned out there was a dead cockroach blocking the hole from the reservoir to the filter.
Cockroaches are notorious coffee problems. A study found that many people who drank instant and pre ground coffee were allergic to coffee actually were allergic to the cockroaches ground up in it.
Yup. I've seen this. Sticking to my guns on this one, mainly because I always assumed it was various bugs. It's just a given that bugs are in our food and people's allergies to bug poop is very common.
As a government biologist, i was kind of surprised that snoops was mainly concerned about finding evidence that specifically cockroaches exist in the for No we wouldn't identify that. No one would cus we wouldn't really look into what exact bug or foreign matter exists, we just care that it stays at low levels. A large part of violations we identify have to come from self reporting too.
It's not like it's a big deal anyway. There are bugs in our food, it happens.That's just life lol.
If people think bugs are the worst thing they're going to find in food, they should probably just close the internet, never look anything up and live in bliss.
hm... hmm indeed.
This needs to be screencapped and submitted to this community as its own post.
Why did you do this to me
So where is the problem here?
Toxoplasmosis
Dont think that transfers via saliva, and the cat likely isnt using it as a buttplug
Just a little extra seasoning
No problem. Self cleaning. Best.
I don't see one! This is probably the highlight of the cats day :) it's own little bit of drink in the morning. Cute.
Cat was probably thinking: "Damn those humans, I have to do all the cleaning myself"
I think if you have a cat, there's just a point where you accept that you'll be ingesting the odd hair or dribble or microscopic bits of poop.
And Toxoplasmosis.
Yes, of course be cautious, especially if pregnant. But an indoor cat, even if infected when adopted, won't be contagious after 2 weeks and won't have a way to get reinfected. Outdoor, strays, and unknown cats are obviously not inherently safe.
Most of us probably already have it from pork.
That's trichinosis, and it's exceedingly rare in farm raised pigs.
Edit: Trichinosis is rare in pork, but I was wrong about Toxoplasmosis. Cook your bacon all the way.
Every unaccompanied cup shall be drank from.
TIL there are people who don't wipe the wand immediately while the milk is wet and wait for it to crust over.
"Mmm, have you noticed our espressos now have an interesting nutty accent flavor?"
Yeah, that would be the addition of 'cat anus by proxy'.
For those in the Fediverse interested, Fesshole has an official Mastodon presence now.
I thought cats dont like work
Food driven cats will do some work for the right bribes, at least when they feel like it. For the extra delicious treats, ours will do sit, lay down, stand/jump, shake & high five. Will have to see if I can get her to clean the milk steaming spout as well!
I'm not seeing the problem.. Little guy gets a nice little snack, you get a consistently clean machine.. If you're so concerned just wipe it with a sanitizer wipe before you use it.
