[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 684621, member: 11791"] I drink "stout" black tea too. I didn't realize you were drinking highly-staining forms of tea, like us "English types" are prone to do! The heat of the drying cycle, or even of the extreme hot water, actually sticks the tannins more tightly to the mug. Over time, that can trap water chemicals, including chlorine... any of which can be corrosive. You need to clean the mug by HAND, not in the dishwasher. And you need to clean it every single day. Either at the end of the day before you go to bed, or in the morning when you plug the first kettle in. :D And yes, some of the best mugs are cheap ones. :( The problem being, they don't last.
