Do you rinse out your coffee pot before you make a new pot?

I only ask because I totally do. I don't know what I think I'm a accomplishing by it, but I do it anyhow. I dump out what's left (usually trace amounts) and rinse it out before filling it and dumping the water into the machine.

I mean, first of all, I rinse it out with cold water, which doesn't really stand a chance of killing anything that might be growing in the pot from yesterday (when the hot coffee would have killed it) and I only put 5 or 6 ounces in, swirl it around a couple times, and dump it out.

I don't scrub, and I certainly don't scour. Just a quick swish-swish, and into the sink it goes.

When I stop to think about it (its what i do) it's kinda useless.

If anything, I should just fill the pot over the dregs from the previous day and get an added boost of caffeine (goodness knows i need it) and just call it good.

Ok, so it's Thursday again, and here's a pic of me with my hand wrapped around one of my favorite things:




Oh, grow up you pervs...what did you think I meant?
