Schools help a community because educated kids become productive adults. There is no benefit to the community to having a poncy fcuking coffee machine that needs daily maintenance in your office.
Having children is a choice as is having coffee no one is forcing you to have either

Agreed, but it a slippery slope suggesting I get to decide where my taxes go. "I don't shoot people overseas, therefore I don't want 5% of my taxes to go towards the Army" :uhoh:

Say yes. Clean it particularly badly so the coffee tastes like sh*t. You know? Like Nero.

You can be sure no-one will be asking Jeff to clean it again. :thumbup:

Last time I checked you dont hold free and fair elections at the office to decides who rules the roost (and communal resources)

Therefore all taxation arguments are bullshit and need to go away. HR rules apply and under those you can tell the coffee nazis to go fudge themselves.

Coffee drinkers should clean it. You shouldn't have to unless you do drink it or serve it to clients

It's a public benefit. Like public education or transport. You might not use it, but you still indirectly benefit from it (via people not being caffeine starved plum, and being more productive).

Anyway thats he best argument I can make for you to clean it.
The missus made the same argument when I told her. I can just about see it, but if you are a degenerate who needs a fix just so you can work/be nice, that certainly shouldn't be my problem.

Add it to someone's job responsibilities and sack the idiot who bought a machine that needs so much maintenance (I assume it has a built in milk dispenser)

No way should you clean it.

Bloody coffee drinkers and office politics are so wank. Mind you, if one of these tossers have any input on your pay rewards, yeah clean it, in fact offer to take over their turn as well.

Then do something horrible into the machine – I bet rabbit/mouse shit is easily obtainable and readily deployed into the machine with a minimum of fuss.

Ask AWJ to clean it out for you. Then when he flops into it, dents it slightly, then falls over the other side you can claim it's sparklingly clean while all your colleagues complain it's actually complete shit
