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?

Coffee pots/machines should be washed, but don’t have to be washed as much as standard cookware because they are constantly getting rinsed with very hot water, which will kill a lot of bacteria and they don’t have too much in them that bacteria can live off of. They should still be washed and cleaned, just not as frequently.
Regular cookware gets grease, fat, food, and other substances over them all the time that are a buffet for bacteria, so they need to be cleaned thoroughly and often.
