Leaving your coffee maker moist without having it washed may attract molds to build up, as per Forte, "It's best to wash the removable parts of your coffee maker after every use to remove coffee, grinds, and oil, you can hand wash at the sink with warm and soapy water, but usually the pieces are dishwasher-safe. And don't forget to wipe down the outside and the warming plate where spills can burn on."
