[ARC5] Coffee - bad?

[Whitebear1122]

I got yelled at by the mess cook chief when I cleaned out one of the coffee pots.  He instructed me to simply rinse with water because scrubbing disturb the flavor “patina” that was developing.   Never cleaned it out again, no scrubbing, no soap, just rinsing occasionally to flush the grinds out.   What did I know… I was 18, didn’t drink coffee, and knew jack squat :)  73, Scott WA9WFA
