I’ve found that a quick spin on the lathe every six months or so is totally sufficient. It’s usually time when I start to notice that the remaining volume is down to one or two espressos and the cup is able to provide a good cup of Joe despite only receiving hot water.
Yes I am kidding.
But yes, for science I’ve also cleaned a stainless steel cup that way.
wait, do all of you wash your coffee cup regularly?
I wash mine every few months. In between washes I sometimes pick off the lip gunk. I know The navy takes it a little more seriously though.
My wife uses approximately eleventy mugs a day for who knows what purpose, and fills up the top dishwasher rack.
Daily dishwasher.
A rinse and maybe a wipe.

We have a rack of coffee mugs and wash them in the dishwasher after each use like other dishes. Sometimes I handwash one to use again.
If it’s not had a warm coffee in it for approximately 4h, it’s dirty and I need a new cup.
If I happen to regularly have coffees in the same cup over 12h and I’m going for another, the mug is still fine
I don’t make the rules
I am not gonna go overboard and call what I do a “wash”. Soap usually doesn’t enter the picture.
Nah, once every few days is sufficient.
Yeah, I like a little creamer in mine, so that whole “it’ll be part of tomorrows coffee” thing means old dried dairy 🤢
Coffee cheese!
Creamer is actually non-dairy. Not that I’m advocating not cleaning it out of your cup, but an interesting tidbit nonetheless.
Once a week.
