Coffee Mug Pride

That mug is nasty.

I think it righteous. I use thermal travel mugs, but I had one of that magnificence worked on it for about 4 years, until i left it on the roof of my truck and ran it over... I cried a little. I have since obtained a new one and it is getting a nice layer of deliciousness. Can't beat a cup from a well seasoned mug. Rock it like a space shuttle and tell the office sqeamers to suck it up and leave you be. :rockin: Of course you could always go with the promise that anyone who touches your mug will subsequently have THEIR mug smashed. On their face.

It's ok man. It happens. That's why I take it on vacation. I work with too many of those types. As well as with people who I feel may be out to get my mug. Is that paranoia justified?

I would never take it on vacation, or leave the office with it for that matter. Your asking for trouble with it in the outside world. I'd recommend getting yourself a travel mug like Ed said and make a dedicated mug for when you are away. In fact I do have a Stanley thermos thats been used to take the coffee to work each day as well as when I travel, its never been cleaned either. God knows what the inside of that thing looks like.

I know the threats are empty around here as she's earned enough respect not be messed with. Technically she's a seasoned employee here herself. Been around longer than a third of the employees. And JGLN has a good point about the brim scum, thats not stains but straight bacteria. I usually will clean the brim once a week by scratching off all the buildup as its important to keep a professional appearance from the outside.

That is like using a garbage pail that has never been washed for a dinner plate. If you wash it, that will be the same as washing the rotten garbage out of it so of course it doesn't taste the same as a clean mug. Maybe there is a lesson to be had from people "cupping" or tasting and grading coffee make sure that every thing is clean so as to not ruin the coffee. Nothing makes for the best coffee as clean brewing equipment and clean cups. Oh yea, I got yelled at and screamed at for washing the mugs on fishing boats but I won the argument when I made the do a blind tasting. Enough said.

I am not sure you have any idea of what you are talking about. You have no credibility. You've never had a mug so you wouldn't know what it's all about. You are just a no lifer cup Johnny pencil pushing life hater.

Recently I left it in the microwave one day and nobody would touch it to take it out so they could reheat their lunch. Its gaining authority like it should.

What the heck? What was your mug doing in the microwave? I can excuse the not cleaning the mug, but were you microwaving coffee?

 

[Hawaiianbrewer]

I microwave coffee all the time ? If I pour a cup and it gets cold before I finish it, i'll just reheat it in the microwave or top it off with some fresh stuff. If your ice water gets warm do you pour it out or just add more ice?

 

[bruin_ale]

The flavor of water isn't altered by adding more water/ice.
Coffee definitely changes flavor when microwaved. When my cup of coffee gets cold, I pour it out and get a fresh one.

That is something a UCLA Bruin fan would do...

[djfriesen]

I nuke joe all the time. No noticeable taste difference to me.
