Wow, it's been a while since I looked at this thread.. Well, since then, I decided laziness was a GOOD thing, and I just nuke the milk now. I am not a "coffee drinker" but a "frou frou caffeine containing drink" drinker, so I need a LOT of milk. A LOT of cold milk cools the coffee too much.... thus I nuke the milk too.
Having the coffee maker sure has saved me a bundle on buying coffee out, tho, so that's been really cool.
