One of the nice things at work is that, along with our lunchroom, we have a dishwashing machine. Nice one, too, stainless steel and all that. I have a coffee mug, one of those steel-bodied things with a safety meant to reduce spill damage, and I usually wash it by hand.

I left it in the dishwasher on Friday, set with the timer to wash it later that evening. This is probably the first time this cup has seen the inside of a dishwasher in five years.

The coffee mug smells awful now. Whatever it went through in that satanic bath of overheated water and powerful soaps, it released the plasticky smell of the lid. A half-decade buildup of layers of coffee residue has been stripped away, leaving the unpleasant industrial origin of my mug laid bare to my nose.

Haha, I did the same exact thing to my mug just last week, that will be the last time I ever let it go through the dishwasher. I HATE that plastic smell. Soak it in coffee for a day and it will be slightly better, at least that did it for me. >_<;

Ooo! You're listening to Klaatu!
:)

And I use a plain white china mug, rinsed under boiling water once a day, doesn't get stained. Spill damage? I often need an excuse for a new peripheral...

Heh! You've removed the carefully-developed seasoning on your coffee cup.
