Last time I checked, styrofoam cups were not supposed to be sufficiently porous so that coffee can slowly seep through the side of the cup. Or did I miss a change in the laws of physics somewhere? I'm pretty sure when you put beverages in a cup, its supposed to leave the cup by going over the brim. That is the general concept behind cup, no? This isn't a joke dribble cup either. This is an ordinary, off the stack cup. And this isn't the first time I've seen this.
Yes, I know the obvious answer is to drink my coffee faster, and stop worrying. Or get a ceramic mug. Or perhaps be more worried; could the coffee be so caustic that its eating through the cup? Gah. This is the problem with me BC (that's Before Coffee) I can't actually formulate a useful plan. At least the process of seeping through the cup cools off the liquid, so that it's not burning to hold the cup. That would suck.
