How to clean the inside of your k-cup machine.

You clean the out side of your k-cup machine.

So how are you cleaning the inside...or are you?

This is just one way to help keep the inside of your coffee maker as clean as the outside.

You’ll need cleaning wipes, a paper clip, and distilled white vinegar. Use the wipes to clean the front of the machine, especially the handle. The paper clip can get those hard to reach spots inside the pod holder. Then fill the water reservoir with the vinegar. Run the machine, to flush the vinegar out. The acidity in the vinegar will kill the bacteria without harming you. Once the vinegar is out of the reservoir, let the machine sit for four hours. After four hours, fill the reservoir with water and run it about four times to flush out the rest of the vinegar.

With the environment in the news lately. Here is one you didn't see coming. Used coffee grounds are very good at storing Methane. Methane is a global warming gas many times more potent that carbon dioxide.With Methane having one advantage over Carbon Dioxide. That is Methane can be used as a fuel.

While It's not likely your local power company will be digging around in your trash ben for your used coffee grounds in order to capture and store their Methane emissions. Some smaller producers of Methane emissions may have some interest. Many oil wells also produce small amounts of natural gas. The volume of gas is so small that it's uneconomical to lay the needed pipe in order to place this gas into the natural gas lines that heat your home. So this g...

Weather /climate change and your coffee

Weather unpredictability/climate change is a leading factor in future coffee prices. Making the small coffee grower looking to expand their land used to cultivate coffee. Felling of rain forests will accelerate current trends in a changing climate. adding even more unpredictability to coffee supplies and future prices. With the current world price at 90 cents a pound is making profitability in many countries nearly impossible With production cost at about $1.50 per pound. The shortest answer is to grow more coffee witch takes more land, ,fewer trees, more c02, additional climate effects . Climate change and general weather unpredictability are one of the driving forces in the roller coaster ride coffee prices are having and will likely continue to have in the foreseeable future. Perhaps second only to the never ending political unrest in many coffee growing regions.
