Does anyone know if its possible to kasher a Bean to Cup Coffee machine? I am thinking of getting a manufacture refurbished De'Longhi and in all likelihood it has probably been used with non kosher milk....

For the past few years Mechiras Chometz was arranged with Manhattan Beer - which is the largest NYC area distributor.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

How about distributors in NJ, are some of them Jewish? How can I find out if a Mechira was done?

I was given something with this hechsher, http://www.gokosher.org/contact-us

Anyone know if it's reliable?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.
