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 still do this to myself at least 3 times a week.

    The coffee pot isn’t set properly.

    Put it back put it back put it back

        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.

          It’s not to protect it from cracking - it’s to stop the leftover coffee from burning onto it, since I only rinse it after use.

            I feared as much. People used to do that a lot instead of rinsing the pot out and making a new pan. Everyone just like “no no there’s still enough for someone to probably want the last bit”.

            Dad used to do it at home as well back when I still lived with him like 20 years ago. I’m not much of a perfectionist, but this somehow gets to me idk why.

    In case you still need help: If you’re reading this now, your coffee will be cold so you can finally slurp it.

    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 beverage platforms.

    I love how surface tension is the only thing still keeping liquid inside the cup…

            An Aeropress is almost certainly less expensive and makes better coffee. No moving parts to break either. Granted it’s more involved, the ritual is part of a cup of coffee.

              The best coffee I’ve ever drank was from Aeropress but honestly, if you use freshly ground beans on a Moccamaster they’re quite difficult to tell apart.

                When it comes to machines the Moccamaster is definitely top tier, especially when you’re moving up from a Mr coffee like we had when I was young lol.

    This is 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.

      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.

    At least you get it in the cup. I have coworkers who forget their mug is beside the Keurig machine and press start… Lol

    Easy: redefine your “desk” to be that counter. Problem solved.
