- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Question for anyone who's got one of these things: would it be practical to like keep it in a cabinet, and pull it out when you want to use it, then put it back when you're done? Not much counter space here... Also, someone mentioned about not needing a water hookup and just pouring water in. How difficult is it to drain those ones? I imagine if one were to try to store it between uses, you'd want it completely dry before putting away...
Maybe? You do have to make sure the drain hose is on quite tight to make sure it's sealed. Might be annoying putting it back on each time. If you could leave it on and wrap it around it I can't see why not. Mine was a Comfee Mini Plus so no water hookup, you could just pull it out of a cupboard so long as it fits. I mainly had mine because I had no hot water supply.
In this situation, I’d be tempted to hunt down some sort of small industrial hose quick-coupler for this situation. Something with a rubber gasket for sealing would work well, drains are not very high pressure.
Hell, a garden hose quick connect like from a hardware store might even do the trick.
