The state has a mail gestapo agent or agents and "suspect packages" are then "scanned".
I'm not doubting you, just wondering how the interaction works between the USPS and the state agents. As a former USPS employee I've never known of anyone except Federal employees; ie; the US Postal Inspection Service, having access to the US Mail for investigative purposes.

When I do it, I guesstimate the amount: about 2 tablespoons, stirred into a cup of water until it dissolves. Then add that to however much additional water makes a full pot.

I've also simply added the powder to the reservoir after filling the reservoir with water. When the water heats up, the powder dissolves.

Cleans the reservoir, the pipes, the brew basket and the pot too. There's no danger of corrosion. You can damage some coffee makers with vinegar but you won't do any damage with citric acid. Plus, it does a MUCH better job than vinegar does. People with super-sensitive taste buds MIGHT be able to detect the flavor of citric acid in the first pot of coffee made after cleaning, but I wouldn't know because I taste no hint of it.
thanks. Have been hesitant to put vinegar through my dil's keurig cuz of the rinsing.....but will have em get some of this.

How does the Vape tax compare to the regular cigarette tax in PA .. ??

CIGARETTE TAX
Cigarette tax is an excise tax on the sale or possession of cigarettes and little cigars in Pennsylvania. The tax rate is $1.60 per pack of 20 cigarettes ($0.08 per stick), or $16 per carton of 10 packs, and it is imposed on the ultimate consumer.

Cigarette stamping agents are responsible for remitting the tax to the commonwealth and apply tax stamps to cigarette packs and stampable little cigars to indicate payment of tax. All cigarettes and stampable little cigars legally sold in Pennsylvania are marked with a Pennsylvania cigarette tax stamp on the bottom of each pack.

In addition to the cigarette tax, consumers pay a 6 percent sales and use tax on the retail purchase price of cigarettes and little cigars, with an additional 1 percent local sales tax in Allegheny County and 2 percent local sales tax in Philadelphia County.

Cigarette tax revenue is currently dedicated to the following funds and General Fund:

  • $30.73 million annually to the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which provides health insurance to uninsured children and teens; and
  • $20.49 million annually to the Agricultural Conservation Easement Purchase Fund, which helps preserve Pennsylvania farmland.
  • For detailed and historic cigarette tax information, please review the Tax Compendium.

So where do you get citric acid? I'm game to try it. We have a lot of lime in our water. I've even flushed out the coffee maker with CLR and then run about 10 pots of water through it.

The isle with the canning supplies (mason jars etc).

Though chemically Vinnegar should work just not as quickly. Both are acidic and will dissolve calcium.

In fact back when I was actively doing some geology it was one way to tell various rocks/minerals apart. Does vinegar bubble when dripped on them? If yes the rock has calcium in it.
