arent they just an artform? i reckon kramer should have made a coffee table book on coffee mug stains instead of coffee tables.
you know what i mean. you pour yourself a hot mug of coffee. its very full. almost up to the brim. then, when you put it down, some of it spills over. so, you move your mug over to the side, and wipe up the spilt coffee. then, you pick your mug back up. and there you go. right under where you just picked up your coffee cup from. THE coffee mug stain.
ok, its not really a stain. its just coffee in the general shape of a circular outline. but the small variations in stains. the small drops on the side, the seepage of coffee into the centre of the circle. there are some any different coffee mug stains.
however. there is only ONE perfect coffee mug stain. the circular outline, perfect in shape, but with a slight deviation in outline thickness in one quadrant. in that same quadrant, two drops. one linked into the outline, with a diameter of about 3mm. the second one, entirely detached. just a bit further (1mm) out from previous drop, co-linear to it, about 1-2mm in diameter.
this my friends. is the perfect coffee mug stain. i had one this morning. i saw it. the hairs on the back of stood on end. i picked up a piece of high absorbency 130 gsm cartridge paper. i laid it down perfectly. i waited five minutes. i lifted it off. it was a tragedy. i had to taken into account the spreading of the water across the sheet. it was horrible.
i have laid 150gsm matte photo paper across my desk. the decreased absorbency will hopefully mean a crisper outline. i shall wait a week for my perfect coffee mug stain to appear.
