We keep a large salt pig full of coarse kosher salt on our kitchen counter.
Every now and then when we haven't anticipated what might happen, a guest will
load up his coffee cup with "sugar".
Of course, it's not so funny when you have to clean up the spew...

N., unable to resist the double pun

One morning, I got up a little earlier than usual. Prepared to pull my espresso
just like I always do, grind, level, tamp, all on automatic since I'm still half
asleep. I watched as a gorgeous pull of crema-enriched espresso drizzled out of
the PF. My mouth started watering, it was that good of a pull. Cleaned the PF
and then grabbed my demi-tassa. It was empty! When I had watched the espresso
pour it had poured directly into the drain tray. Dang.

Early mornings - before your first cup...
Fill cup with hot water, go fill PF
Throw water down sink, pull shot, go get milk for cappa
Throw water down sink - opps, did that step - at least savour
the smell as the shot drains away!

The funny part of that thread being the OP's utter cluelessness in
thinking that they were being rude to him and not the other way around.
I used to think that the 'ugly american' label was somewhat undeserved
and outdated but he makes me embarrassed for my nationality. No wonder
we have such a poor world image with cultural representatives like him
around.
My best too little caffeine to make coffee story came when I went to
add my coffee to the FP pot but forgot to grind it first. No problem,
right? Just dump the beans into the grinder and start over. Only
problem was the water in the FP pot which ended up in the grinder with
the beans.

The OP is surely trolling.
That being said, our country is one of the few industrialized nations
without an education system that teaches additional language skills or
functional geography as a required part of the curriculum.
The result should come as no surprise.

As of now, I gotta go with sipping coffee and reading a thread about
taking one's shoes of in a French Starbucks. Hilarious!
