What is it about coffee that makes washing things less necessary?

Question

I’ve worked many places now that supply coffee for their employees. The pots never get washed and the cups rarely get washed. I’d never consider this for any other food but come to accept for for coffee as I’ve never heard of anyone getting sick. What is it about coffee that makes this acceptable?
