Now how am I supposed to get this to my desk without either spilling it all over or burning my lips trying to slurp it here. I’ve been drinking coffee for at least 25 years and I do this to myself at least 3 times a week.
My favorite every morning moment: bow down and SLURP
Bow down before the one you serve You’re going to get what you deserve (It’s coffee. You deserve coffee.)
Got coffee- I’ll do anything for you…
Gotta blow on it first though
It’s intentional. Leaves an air gap between the pot and the hotplate.
Yes, which is exactly why it shouldn’t be like that. I know you probably did it so that the hotplate won’t heat up the glass for nothing, which is fine, albeit unnecessary and slightly disturbing to my psyche. Unnecessary insofar that the hotplate won’t crack the glass, it’s not exactly that hot, the pot’s good glass and usually cracking happens when you suddenly cool a hot glass object, not just by heating it.
I can’t tell you the times that people have left it like that while there still is coffee, and then it’s gotten awkwardly room temperature. Which is why I’m sort of sore about that.
Surface tension porn
Oh fuck yeah speed that meniscus
I love how surface tension is the only thing still keeping liquid inside the cup…
When I saw the photo and this wonderful surface tension I thought this was a science meme
Well, it’s a template for some future meme for sure.
gravity too
If the pathway from your coffee maker to your desk has sufficient width and structural support to accommodate a 70 ton tracked armored fighting vehicle, tank gun stabilizers can maintain pretty stable platforms.
You’ve learned plenty. Mostly about the surface tension of coffee.
This eminently slurpable. The clue is in the name, it makes the sound because you’re not pressing your lips against the rim of the cup in the same way as a sip. You’re more sucking in air towards you over the cup and it happens to lap up a few little waves of coffee that are thoroughly cooled on their way to your mouth.
This guy slurps.
In case you still need help: If you’re reading this now, your coffee will be cold so you can finally slurp it.
Nice moccamaster, I have one in Burgundy, they make really good drip coffee
I was gonna say. Super legit masheen and crazy expensive.
It’s worth the price, trust me.
I also heard these things last forever, and they sell spare parts.
You do know your coffee makers 👌
Moccamaster is relatively popular brand where I live. Most people know about it. It always boggles my mind when I see a middle class family with a 35€ coffee maker. Why cheap out on something you’re using multiple times a day for the rest of your life? These things are not that expensive and spare parts are widely available.
Skill issue
Put it on a plate. You’ll spill, but it’ll stay on the plate.
Others have posted longer term solutions (bigger cup, skill issue, etc). In the immediate situation you have some options:
how am I supposed to get this to my desk without either spilling it all over or burning my lips trying to slurp it here
Easy: redefine your “desk” to be that counter. Problem solved.
you’re gonna need a bigger cup
Use a straw if available…
That would be worse than burning the lips.
Surface tension at its best. And its max.
You don’t need solution when you have the best coffee maker ever built!
(True)
What? I don’t see an Aeropress anywhere 😋
Little sips Brüder, little sips
Solvable problem. You just need a turkey baster.
All you need is a Pythagoras greedy cup
True! Then instead of spilling my coffee on the counter I could spill it on the counter instead.
So that you practice stopping it just before the siphon trigger
straw
Mockamaster machine, nice 👌
Top-notch meniscus
At least you get it in the cup. I have coworkers who forget their mug is beside the Keurig machine and press start… Lol
Scoop some out with a metal spoon. The liquid in the spoon should cool quickly so you can still drink it without wasting any. Repeat until the level is low enough to carry.
ADHD?
this is your fault lmao
You need a cup with an expandable section, sort of like luggage has
Or maybe I just need to start drinking straight from the jug.
That could work too, spare yourself washing mugs

Get a BIGGER cup.

If they’re anything like my they’re just gonna fill it anyway and have an even bigger problem. I actually got a smaller cup to make the problem smaller.

Carry the coffee maker. It’s your mug now.

The pictured coffee machine appears to have a 40 fluid ounce carafe.

This mug holds 52 fluid ounces:

This is the same approach as “add one more lane” to a congested highway. You know it’s not gonna work.
Just get a saucer.

The induced demand theory of coffee cup size.
