When we were kids, my brother and I scrubbed the crockery
(CorningWare?) coffeepot that our folks used, and my Dad wasn't happy
at all. Said it made the coffee taste "different," ie, not as good.
Guess it's kind of like scrubbing the "cure" off a cast-iron skillet.
Don't know if it makes a difference with a non-porous coffee pot; I've
seen him put the pyrex Mr. Coffee carafe in the dishwasher without
batting an eye.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.
-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
