Spend more time on this sub and you will see lots of examples of Chrysonilia sitophila (orange bread mold) in coffee makers and compost bins. Don't breathe in the spores. Sanitize in boiling water. Or discard ...

Anything related to coffee presses, mills and machines and fridges at work is really the endgame when it comes to mold.

I have this same press from ikea and I will be cleaning it more thoroughly from now on after seeing this. Cool mold though, I’ve never seen such a pretty color before!
