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.
