Pee outdoors? They don’t even like to *go* outdoors because of the terrible “outside” smell. I think it’s a bit like the princess and the pea; only DCUM noses are rarefied enough to smell the dreaded “outside” smell.

I do and don’t understand the problem. The water is boiled, right?

I use them if they are keurig style and I don't get grossed out by them. I usually drink the decaf when I check in late at night. The hotel you get in the lobby coffee bar probably has the same germs as does the restaurant you get your lunch from, etc.

I'm a microbiologist. The water is boiled or comes close to boiling point in those coffee makers. That kills off most bacteria and mold. If the concern is bleach or toxic agents in the rinsing process the hotel uses, rinse it out again and check that it's empty before pouring clean water in it. You can also rinse out the mugs.

No, but I don't drink coffee. I'm a water girl (and no, I don't use the hotel-provided water glasses).
