We tried actual tea once but it does get mouldy and sludgy after a few days so we always had to clean it out. The coffee doesn't seem to "mould".</div><div><br></div><div>Now we also found that it evaporated quite quickly especially since the display was directly under one or our air vents. We solved that problem by using a good squirt of DAWN into the tea/coffee. It thickened the "tea" so as not to be so quick to spill out and we only have to add a little water to the cup once a month now. </div><div><br></div><div>We did have one gentleman accidentally fall into the table one day and there was a bit of spillage, but because of the DAWN, there was no staining once the table cloth and chair fusion were cleaned.</div><div><br></div><div><div apple-content-edited="true">
