I lived with a buddy of mine who owned one of the first generation Keurig machines. We had problems with roaches cropping up here and there and we tried everything to get rid of them from diatomaceous earth to calling an exterminator but they always came back and we had no idea where they were coming from. We had assumed at some point that it was probably from an adjacent town home so we just dealt with them as they came and I didn’t think much of them after that. Fast forward a year or so and I’ve moved out of the place. I get talking with my buddy about the old roach problem and he tells me that he found out where they were nesting when his Keurig machine stopped working and he attempted to open it up and they came pouring out of the machine. My buddy grabbed some roach spray we had stocked up on and drenched the machine in it to kill as many of the damn things as he could. He ended up throwing that machine away. I’m glad I switched to French press and moka pots forever ago.
I, a pour-over purist, moved in with my keurig-slut of a partner. There were cockroaches in the building but we managed them alright. Didn’t see many.
Of course I was secretly pilfering his pods when he wasn’t around. It was just so goddamn convenient.
I went to make a cup when I discovered two roaches in the water tank. It was my second coffee that morning.
I tried to clean it out to find the inside already populated with six generations of cockroaches.
I converted him to pour-over, because the machine was gone when he came home from work. I spared him that, at least.

Je crois que tu veux dire cafard
this needs an entomology paper

Around 40% of commercial coffee makers are infested with roaches. Garbage, sewage, and waste from humans can all be fertilized by roaches, and their intestinal parasites can spread. Look for different factors to determine if your coffee maker is infiltrated by these insects. Because coffee grounds and roaches almost look like each other, it may be difficult to identify them in your coffee maker.
Home brew forever.
This article keeps contradicting itself. I suspect it was written by a LLM.
Glad I don’t like coffee.
Well I’m glad I French press.

I’m so glad I don’t drink coffee. I think I wouldn’t be able to handle a roach-infested anything in my home. At least, afaik, roaches aren’t that much of a problem in Germany
Of course… Hahahahaha
I’m suddenly glad I drink tea.

Holy necro-post Squeezer Man!

Aww, don’t be ashamed. I meant nothing bad by it. It’s a beauty of the fediverse.
Wow, I’m post-worthy. Who knew.
Congratulations on your living nightmare.
fuck you i didn’t want to have read that
Well here is a half moth that I once got in a prepackaged salad I bought once
Looks like a cicada
Prepackaged leafy greens are the worst offenders for quality control issues by far
I worked in a restaurant that purchased local produce. One day a guest sent back a salad because it had a butterfly in it. That bastard had submerged in water for 30 minutes, rinsed and run 3 through a salad spinner three times, then refrigerated for about 2 hours. Yet there it was, covered in dressing and still fucking alive.
Greens are kind of a mine field. Bugs love them and lots of them are specifically designed to hide and live within them. Let’s not even get into e. Coli.
Sensitive to moisture, temperature, crushing, short shelf life, can’t really pasteurize, and most commonly eaten raw. Bugs can be gross but the most potent threat is bacteria!
Fun fact, there is an acceptable level of bug parts allowed in food products. And the level is not zero.
Fuck man, bug parts are probably some of the healthiest things in your food.
The shit has micro plastics in it. Stuff that fucks up the kids you don’t even have yet.
Bugs are no big deal. Except they also have micro plastics in them.
Friend is an epidemiologist. Someone ran their coffee maker at their cabin after a while away. It tasted funny. Mostly because there was a BAT in it.
Did it taste like rabies?
Not sure about the taste, but they definitely got the IgG shots and therapeutic vaccine series. I’m not sure they had encountered someone that had ever had steamed bat carcass before.
Humans have likely eaten bugs with their food by accident for as long as humans existed. Bugs are everywhere, and its impossible to be meticulous and get them all out always.
