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?

The boiling water will take care of the pot and coffee maker similar to cleaning a cast iron skillet (you never wash a cast iron skillet with soap). The water reservoir needs cleaned since it doesn’t get boiling hot or it will mold. And the cups definitely need to be washed unless it’s never touched by other mouths or hands and just your own. Then once again it is boiling hot when poured into it and your own germs are your own. If you are sick you should wash it similar to how you would your toothbrush. Everything should still be washed on occasion for cleanliness and grime and buildup in my opinion. I clean mine with white vinegar every so many uses according to the manufacturer.
