From Kevin Kelly’s Street Use:
Ask just about anyone in law enforcement, and they’ll tell you to be careful if you ever brew coffee in a hotel room. “I know enough now that whenever I go to a hotel, regardless of how nice it is, I’ll never use a coffee pot,” said Marshall County District Attorney Steve Marshall.
It seems those hotel coffee pots are being used to brew methamphetamine. So there’s a decent chance that your hotel coffee pot will be loaded with meth residue. Rick Phillips of the Marshall County Drug Enforcement Unit says there’s definitely a risk.
The coffee makers that you find in every motel room is an ideal heat source. They mix it up in the coffee pot, put it on a heat source and let it sit there and cook.
Phillips says it’s pretty easy to tell if a coffee pot has been used to cook meth — there will be a dark reddish-orange stain. So assuming none of you were the type to brew coffee in a strange, dirty coffee pot, chances are this report wasn’t going to affect you anyways.
Sorry about that.

Loks lie bad coffee to me is this just anoher urban legend in the making to scare up funds and support for the drug wat I thik it takesa bit more than a coffe pot to create it and now most hotels and motles probably ahve a govenor on the coffoe pot so t does not get to hot thus limting the possibily of a lawsuit
Some one should tell the cop if you look at any coffee pot that has been usealot it has a drar browinsh orange stain on it uless some opne cleaned it with alot of effort to ensure not one bit of the residue and oils from the coffee remain in it . This is kind of funny though and pathetic
along with being plain stupid .
But that the drug war for you they know they are losing and will do any thing to scare the daylights out of Joe avreage .
