Don't clean it. People make a bigger deal out of coffee apparatus cleanliness than needs to be made. As long as you aren't making stupid stuff with artificial flavor, a rinse under hot water is sufficient, and maybe thoroughly clean quarterly or so.

K-Cup Inventor John Sylvan Admits He Doesn't Use 'Expensive' Coffee Pods
I feel bad sometimes that I ever did it," Sylvan told The Atlantic.
I don't have one. They're kind of expensive to use, Sylvan said about the coffee pods experience. Plus its not like drip coffee is tough to make.
For small offices and companies I can see why they prefer using Keurig machines, though.
But its tough to clean, specially at work.
just like honey scrips are simulated apple, not apple. The entire world has moved to artificials and simulations, get on the train
It's not the cleaning that makes k-cups great for work. It's the fact they are single serving. Who wants a big carafe of coffee that has sat on the burner for lord knows how long. You can also easily choose the blend or flavor for your cup and not have everyone else complain.

Just to be clear, he feels bad because of the extra garbage it produces, not because people are getting bad coffee.
K cups suck because they do not have enough coffee beans for a cup. Coffee is much better when brewed in a real pot.
I know people are lazy, but come on, its not that hard to grind beans, pour water and change filter, is it?
Depends on the coffee company: each box tells you how much coffee is in a pod: that said a self-fill system at home allows for a very strong cuppa
Kcups are simulated coffee, not coffee
Buy your beans green, from a supplier who knows their shit.
Roast beans yourself, fresh, and not for too long.
Consume within 1 week of roasting.
Grind beans yourself, properly, and seconds before brewing.
Brew using a method that doesn't suck, e.g., Aeropress, Bialetti Moka, real espresso machine, or siphon.
Brew using filtered water, and at a temperature below boiling where possible.
ANY deviation from the above steps leads to a direct and noticeable degradation of the coffee's flavor.
Follow those steps correctly, however, and you'll have the cheapest, best tasting cup of real coffee money can buy. And you'll quite probably start skipping the milk and sugar.
Why yes, I am a snob and a judgmental scumbag. I'm also right. You are wrong. Have a nice day.
What do you mean by this? It isn't real coffee inside?
If you are essentially using a drip-coffee system AS a monster K-cup system: You win~!Yea, I know, I am not their target demographic anyhow, They target people who like to drink a little sip of coffee once in a while, Id rather have half a gallon of strong black coffee daily, or more.
