The Coffee Cup

Posts Tagged ‘drain’

I have a single serve coffee maker, which takes about 2 tbspns of coffee grounds per cup. I’ve been rinsing the ground down the drain every day, but it is safe to do?

We clean the coffee maker every now and then, and it does not happen all the time. Are we grind our coffee too fat? We usually get “auto drip” approach (right smack in the middle).

Imagine draining water from a one gallon milk jug, while keeping the jug totally upright without tipping it.

What would be the best way? I’ve already tried an industrial water pump. . . (which didn’t work at all for some reason)

Then I tried a black and decker drill-mounted pump that did work, but then broke after 3 uses.

I’m looking towards some kind of gravity actuated device. . . what do you think???

An average commercial coffee maker holds about 300 ounces of water, and should not be tipped over in any way.

PS. Taking the tank out and emptying it is A LOT of work and would not be a viable option.

Thanks!
