Useless tidbit #4826: Go easy on the soap. Clean coffeemaking bits are good, but soap residue destroys the taste like bad water. I rinse daily with hot water and only use minimal dish-soap every few weeks to a month followed by a serious hot rinsing.
#4827: Grindings and coffee goo will become rancid. Wipe out the grinder mess (and shute on a burr model) at least every few days. A rag dipped in hot water works great where running water won't.

If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
