Using a Coffee Machine in a Vacation Home
Question
I am traveling to a vacation home and I am unsure of the kosher status there. Am I allowed to use the coffee machine that is there?
Answer
Hello,
It is not permitted to use the machine.
There is a concern of absorption from the milk that was cooked there. [In Israel, most milk is kosher, and the issue is with milk powder which is considered non-Jewish milk. Abroad, even regular milk is problematic].
There is also a concern that the machine has not been immersed in a mikvah.
