I just dont seem to ever learn
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.
Surface tension porn
Oh fuck yeah spread that meniscus
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.)
Got coffee- I'll do anything for you...
Gotta blow on it first though
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.
you're gonna need a bigger cup
In case you still need help: If you're reading this now, your coffee will be cold so you can finally slurp it.
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
Well, it's a template for some future meme for sure.
gravity too
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
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.
This guy slurps.
straw
Put it on a plate. You'll spill, but it'll stay on the plate.
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.
At least you get it in the cup. I have coworkers who forget their mug is beside the Keurig machine and press start... Lol
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.

Easy: redefine your "desk" to be that counter. Problem solved.
Little sips Brüder, little sips
ADHD?
You don't need solution when you have the best coffee maker ever built!
(True)
What? I don't see an Aeropress anywhere 😋
Solvable problem. You just need a turkey baster.
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.
this is your fault lmao
Get another cup an only fill them both halfway full. You will now be known as "2 cup larry".
Use a straw if available...
That would be worse than burning the lips.
Top-notch meniscus
Mockamaster machine, nice 👌
Pour milk first
Blow!
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
You need a cup with an expandable section, sort of like luggage has
Or maybe I just need to start drinking straight from the jug.
That could work too, spare yourself washing mugs
Kitchen paper.
Pour some into the nearby sink.
I don't waste good coffee.
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.
Move your coffee machine to your desk so you can make and pour coffee without having to move the mug!
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.
Sounds very cozy! I suppose you could also simply carry the carafe to your coffee mug and pour it there, as though you were working at a diner with you as your favourite customer!
A very long straw!
Clearly, just put the yeti top on.
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.
When I make coffee just for myself, I always measure out the same amount of water and this never happens. But my SO is slightly less autistic about it than I am and makes inconsistent amounts when brewing for the two of us - and I just can’t stand the thought of pouring even a drop of coffee down the drain. So, I spill it on the table and floor instead.
There’s a scene at the beginning of Friendship that seems made for you.
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.
