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.
you're gonna need a bigger cup
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
Surface tension porn
Oh fuck yeah spread that meniscus
You've learned plenty. Mostly about the surface tension of coffee.
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:

EDIT: (52 fluid ounces == 1.53 liters)
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.
straw
In case you still need help: If you're reading this now, your coffee will be cold so you can finally slurp it.
The coffee pot isn't set properly.
Put it back put it back put it back
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.
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.
Dude it's fine lol
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.
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.)
At least you get it in the cup. I have coworkers who forget their mug is beside the Keurig machine and press start... Lol
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
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.
Put it on a plate. You'll spill, but it'll stay on the plate.
Nice moccamaster, I have one in Burgundy, they make really good drip coffee
Skill issue
ADHD?
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.
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.
Others have posted longer term solutions (bigger cup, skill issue, etc). In the immediate situation you have some options:
Surface tension at its best. And its max.
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.
Solvable problem. You just need a turkey baster.
Little sips Brüder, little sips
You don't need solution when you have the best coffee maker ever built!
(True)
Clearly, just put the yeti top on.
Pour milk first
Mockamaster machine, nice 👌
