    Their way is optimal. If you remove the old k cup while putting in the next k cup, you open and close the machine half as many times. This reduces wear and tear while forcibly obligating each user to remove exactly one k cup per use.

      Take your cup out and leave the lid open so it has a chance to properly dry and doesn’t accidentally a mildew situation

      I’m so glad I don’t drink coffee…

      Mjam, leave it in there for the weekend to ripen!

      I remember a seldom used office coffee machine that everyone complained made the coffee taste “funny”, they got the message about the necessary cleaning after maggots started crawling out. 🤢🤮

      Also, the k cup is slightly hot immediately after use.

      It won’t burn you but it can be unpleasant.

      I have the same policy with public toilets. If you flush at the start to verify that it’s working and flush at the end then it’s double the flushes. That’s why I only flush at the start. All my coworkers complain, but they’re not concerned with the environment like me! So wasteful!
