Honestly? There's really nothing in coffee for bacteria to grow on. If you take your coffee black, I don't see this as being much of a public health problem. Unorthodox and slightly bleh, maybe, but not out and out unsafe.

Of course, if you adulterate it, all bets off.

Leave your coffee mug with a few ounces left for 4-5 days (long weekend). When you come back you'll see bacteria floating around. Leave it over a long vacation like Christmas and the entire surface will be green. My coffee is black.
 
I never washed mine. Unless I was gone for a while.
 
You choose just the right bean, roasted just perfectly. You grind said bean in your $$$ coffee grinder and french press with distilled water at precisely 204 degrees for exactly three min. Then pour it into an unclean mug???? :facepalm

Thank you.
I'm a bit spoiled with my coffee... so I wash my travel mug, and rinse it clean. Dirty coffee mugs with the insides all stained and disgusting are... well.. disgusting.

And anyone who thinks there's no bacteria in there is being silly.
 
Not only do I wash them after using them, I use a different mug everyday. :laughing


But I work from home. :thumbup
 
if you leave your mug at work unguarded, you should at least rinse it out with hot water. someone may have teabagged it or...

good lord. In the Navy the Chiefs coffee cups were like tar on the inside from all the build up. They say it made the coffee taste better/stronger. They also have their coffee cup sewn onto their hand at E-7. It's part of the ritual. Washing a coffee cup? Unheard of! :laughing

Oh, I should also mention I drink black coffee. If you use milk and sugar in it and don't wash it, you nasty. :laughing

It was a Navy tradition to NEVER was your coffee mug out. Old salts would have white porcelain dyed black by 20+ years of 4 cups 'o day
