Do you ever drink your first cup of hot morning beverage before it gets cold?

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

But do you know anyone who had any experience in a food factory that wanted to consume their produce? I don’t

Edit: I take that back, I do, my friends a cider farmer and he has no trouble sampling the wares

I used to work in a bonded warehouse on the bottling line.

Mostly spirits, some wines, nothing sparkling at all. Frequent spillages, and you'd often end up standing in a mix of spirits for hours on end.

It always amazed us that anyone was allowed to drive home after work.

Mind you it cured athletes foot very quickly.

I totally forgot to say the reason for the post, was that there was never a problem with the seconds that came out of the factory. Periodically 6 bottles of red wine with no labels or things like that, but I definitely fell out with assembling miniature golf caddies containing a miniature of scotch....

Cheap one from Temu. It added enough to the order there wasn't a shipping charge.View attachment 127986

I got mine today, and I plan to have a hot cup of coffee tomorrow. But, here’s what the box showed

Candle Wamer?

Candle Wamer?

Opting for as many markets as possible. They had those things you put the scented candle wax on and when it melted it released the fragrance.

Candle Wamer?

But of course. It's like a teaplot.

The Late Night Gourmet I set mine at 150 and it doesn't get so hot that if you pick up the mug with both hands it burns.

I haven't had tea in a while, but I decided to have a cup just now. I opted for Earl Gray. I forgot my mug warmer at home, so it will certainly get cold before I finish it. Please let me know if I'm doing this right:

1. Get a cup (only paper cups here at work)
2. Get a teabag
3. Pour hot water into cup
4. Fish the teabag out of the cup after the water flow knocks the tag into the cup

Not sure about the first 3 steps, but I remember the last one distinctly from the last time I made tea.

I like Earl Grey, but I always use tea leaves, never tea bags (dreadful purist!). I let the tea steep for a while to allow that delicious bergamot perfume to come through. It's one of the few teas I'll drink with no milk or sugar. Our resident expert has to be rascal, however.

I use loose tea as well in a tea ball screen thing. I like black tea and it steeps as long as it takes to cool enough to sip it, 5 minutes or so? I can just barely see the bottom of the mug.

Update! I brewed a cup of coffee, and I decided to use my mug warmer for the first time. And...I can't find where I put it! Needless to say, my coffee got cold before I finished it today.

Not sure ‘on a shelf with other random bits n bobs’ qualifies as ‘dedicated’

That's my coffee table! Pippi has most of it used up.

I guess she needs to clean her eyeglasses regularly, eh? Nice to know there's a dog with opposable thumbs who can remove the cap off a bottle of water, too. Just sayin'!
