If you don't clean your machine, then you'll be making coffee twice.
And he paused a second before shaking it off. That means he considered it!! What a couple of sickos.
I used to point out how awkward this commercial is to my wife.
And the sister is?

I have this nice one with a gold filter that pretty much completely disassembles and I stick in the dishwasher twice a week.
Not too much of a surprise considering I forgot coffee in a pot once when I went on vacation and came back to large green and black mats on the surface of the coffee. Was pretty surprised something that acidic would still grow mold.

Especially true for Keurig Machines? Or no?

a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
Add me to team French press.
I mean, I prefer a nice double flat white, but espresso machines are gosh darn pricey.

That coffee maker at work though....
This is why I make my own coffee at home before going to work

Love my keurig and never cleaned it. The one at work either. I usually run a cycle after more than 3 to 5 days of NOT using it.

Yes clean that.
Oh crap, I never clean my espresso grinder... How on earth am I supposed to clean that?
What kind of grinder is it? It's actually not so hard since you just need to remove any oils and old grinds so everything can essentially be wiped or brushed off, but depending on your grinder your might have to take it apart to access parts to do so.
I wouldn't recommending grinding rice or whatever like some people do.
It's a no-name supermarket brand burr grinder that I use for espresso. It's pretty much all plastic with rubbery-like seals so grinds stick to them all the time.
If you can open it enough to access the grinder part, you can just brush it / wipe oil away / vacuum grinds and that's it.
There are little cleaning tablets you can buy that you just grind up in the machine but if you can access the grinder easily enough then it's probably better to just clean it like that.

Been using the same 20 dollar coffeemate for almost 10 years. Never washed it with soap or vinegar, never gotten sick.
Maybe this is a problem with weak genetics?

Water reservoirs and any other spots that hold moisture.

You avoid this problem if you just drink superior Turkish Coffee.
On a more serious note, if I do make a pot of american coffee, I usually just run some hot water through it right after and its stayed solidly clean that way.

What's your budget?
Compared to pre-ground, using a good grinder goes a long way.
I have a ~$45 burr grinder at school, and ~$100 one at home. I'm pretty sure I'd fail a blind test, so...

Um FUCK this explains a scary lot...
...and I've been using the same hand-me-down machine for 3 years without cleaning it...

Yep. I drank 2 cups today and it didn't upset my stomach or give me gas and bloat all. It's still anecdotal at this point but if it continues this way for the next few days then I can say with near certainty that I was drinking moldy coffee the past 2-3 months.
Oh and don't even bother cleaning yours, just get a new one or get a simple pour-over setup - it's cleaner and makes better coffee.
