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.
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.
Their focus didn't surprise me, the title was literally about roaches in coffee. It anything it surprised me how in depth they went about other insects being in coffee and not just roaches.
