Star... In our house? As soon as the coffee pot is empty, it is WASHED, dried, and returned to it's rightful place.
It's the only way husband and I have found that doesn't result in one or the other of us having this problem consistently. of course... because husband is the clean-up crew... it would be HIS to clean up. Unless... it ends up being my mess. So... BOTH of us clean and replace the pot.
on the other hand... ever set everything up for coffee for husband before leaving for work? and husband turns on coffee machine? And... what comes out is hot water? We both forgot to put the coffee grounds in... <oops>
