I'm sorry, call me stuck-up, call me pious, call me midwesterner (I am in fact) but I don't like to drink me coffee right out of the street. You don't know where that cup of coffee has been, or rather what (or who) has been near that cup of coffee. What if bird poo lands in it from the sky in mid-sip? What if Professor von Hadtoomuchtodrink falls in and pukes all over, I don't want that in my coffee, not to mention the safety hazards for whats-his-name falling into hot liquid while inebriated. Nothing against the professor. Nothing against Folgers, I just would rather have my coffee handed to me by an employee of a coffee establishment where I know that because of the morning rush, they haven't had my coffee in hand for more than a half second or so. When will they have time to put anything weird into my coffee like bird poo, puke, or gravel? Last time I checked, coffee joints (who don't put the coffee in the street for you) don't employ birds indoors nor generally have a professor hanging around with a hangover. Sounds good to me.
