In a rush between meetings and not enough time to make a coffee, I filled up the pour over kettle and prepped everything and brought it to my desk. Excused myself for having to put myself on mute while a make a coffee in front of everyone, please continue, I’m listening… begin pouring, and 30secs later my lap is very hot.

Managed to leave the boiler in steam mode all morning, resulting in me hurriedly pulling a shot at “get rekt” temperatures. I realised what was happening about half way through and figured things would be fine.
