Having a coffee maker in a hotel room can be an advantage, but only at first glance. A hotel worker at TikTok advised tourists not to rush to enjoy freshly brewed coffee, saying that the only disgusting reason why travelers should never use this device away from home is germs in the coffee machine, because no one ever washes this machine.
According to the employee, the hotel staff does not wash the coffee maker. So, if someone used the device to you, it would not be mistaken or wiped. This unhygienic moment means that there is water inside, in which a new life can develop rapidly in the neighborhood of the tourist: mold, fungi and bacteria.
“Do not use, and I repeat, do not use a coffee maker in your room. Now you may be thinking: Coffee maker is the only thing that is free in the hotel, why not drink coffee … But all the water used and accumulated in coffee makers leads to moisture, which is a cesspool for bacteria, mold and germs – it’s disgusting. If you use these coffee makers in a hotel room, I don’t know what to tell you, “she said.
Instead of using free refreshing drinks, she suggested the following: “Here’s what you should do – always order food and drinks in the room, because the chefs are constantly making fresh coffee and tea. Coffee with room delivery is always offered in the highest quality, and most four- to five-star hotels offer free coffee in the morning, ”she added.
The video has been viewed more than 21,000 times, and users have been outraged by the fact that coffee machines are not washable and customers are unaware of it. In a comment, one traveler shared his advice on using a coffee machine at the hotel, writing: “On the rare occasions when I use it, I just run water through the machine three or four times and then pour myself some coffee.”
Not only the coffee maker can be swarming with germs from the previous guest in the hotel room. Recently, the DIP wrote about five shocking things that hotel cleaners have never said to clean – read the material at this link.
