An occurrence when I return home…

…after being away for a while to go to a wedding:

My little stove-top espresso maker has some mild mold spots growing on the thick caked-on coffee bits lining the inside of its top, in the top chamber where the espresso gathers so you can pour it out, whenever you make some coffee.

. . .

(I guess that use-wise, making coffee everyday does something with the boiling water or the reintroduction of acid or whatever to kill off any mold spores that might grow in there, but leaving it like that unused for almost two weeks somehow gives mold an opportunity to grow in there, unhindered.)
