So, you haven't had problems with coffee? I would think not. Maybe
I'll throw some coffee grounds in mine sometime in the next couple of
days. I put ice cubes down it every now and then.... I thought it was
to clear out the grinder part, not destink it. Lemons are for that!
I only do it when hubby isn't in the house. He's another one that
freaks out if the disposal is used the way it's intended. I'm of the
mindset that says to use it and replace it when it wears out.
