Would it be a generally bad idea to drain an espresso machine drip tray into a sump pit? The drained contents would contain nothing other than water and very finely ground coffee grounds. Would this potentially risk eventually breaking the sump pump or causing other risky issues?
If that is not a good option, what about running the drainage directly out the wall to the outside of the house (into a plant bed)? I am in Chicago, so I don't know what that would mean for freezing considerations, etc. and how I would keep critters out.
I would also like any perspectives on whether either of these solutions would be against code and problematic if I eventually sell the home.
Thanks!
