[Avodah] Office Coffee machine

[Rich, Joel]

The AhS (108) says the Rama is only writing about thick steam. (That
being the point of a lid.) This might be an issue with a microwave,
though, because the walls can get dripping wet. But I don't know of
anyone who still (now that their workings are better known) says
microwaves don't need kashering.

The coffee machine is okay.

1. I seem to recall that many are choshesh for the steam even if not
thick in other situations (e.g. ovens)
2. You're assuming that the spigot never actually comes in contact with
the hot liquid chocolate.  I'd suggest that it is not unheard of for
actual splashing to occur while the mixture is happening.
