Trichlorotrifloroethane...    lovely stuff.  Right before I retired they came down heavy on the stuff.  Had to keep all sorts of logs on it.  Worse than dealing with sub mariners.

"Trike" was the cleaner of choice in USAF PMEL, came in a nifty spray can similar to WD-40, with the obligatory straw attachment.  Had a pleasant aroma, worked well, and no health concerns that we were aware of at the time...  Of course, you didn't snort the stuff, and you thoroughly rinsed your coffee cup after cleaning those nasty stains...
If it works, it's a Fluke.

The USAF PMEL break rooms did not enjoy the quality coffee of USN yore, therefore our coffee cups would get "nasty" fairly quickly...

The nice thing about it was that you could fill your empty cup with hot water, swirl it around a little, and you had another cup of coffee!
If it works, it's a Fluke.

Yeah now that I think about..........when I was at Moody I remember them always saying somthing about washing my coffee cup............

Now that I'm back at a Navy lab.........well no cup needed for the coffee........It comes thick or thin sliced..just the way ole Chief Jones used to make it.

I remember my first coffee in a Navy Lab. That was 17 years ago. I have not slept since.  :-o

I worked night check on the USS Enterprise.  Came in one night and the day check had made us coffee.  One of the 32 cup sized pots.  They filled the basket to the top with coffee grounds and no filter.  Well we unplugged and about an hour before day check was to come in.  We plugged back in and rebrewed it.  Now that was some serious coffee.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN:

A veteran - whether on active duty, honorably discharged, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in
