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.

Get another cup an only fill them both halfway full. You will now be known as "2 cup larry".

Use a straw if available...

I'd probably nurse it a little until it was safe enough to transport. Although youd have to wait for it to cool first.

Wick it. Carefully touch the corner of a paper towel to the coffee, and let the coffee draw up into the paper towel. Repeat until the coffee is low enough for you to have a good chance at passing an agility check.

Let it there for 5 min. Then slurp it. Then move it.

This is the way. Also if its too hot, that means your coffee is over 80 degrees Celsius. Which is not good

Move your coffee machine to your desk so you can make and pour coffee without having to move the mug!

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 3 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I live in a small granny cottage and "my desk" means the kitchen table 2.5 meters away. I technically could move it to my desk and it would still remain in the kitchen.

A very long straw!

You need a cup with an expandable section, sort of like luggage has

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or maybe I just need to start drinking straight from the jug.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

That could work too, spare yourself washing mugs

Kitchen paper.

There’s a scene at the beginning of Friendship that seems made for you.

I've tweaked my coffee machine (okay, a simple Senseo) so it always gives exactly the right amount so something like this won't happen every.
