Is your to-go coffee running out? Then you make that little mistake

But it is also maddening: You drink your morning coffee with relish in the train and suddenly noticed: The coffee drips up and you directly on the blouse!

Again and again, such nasty mishaps happen with our to-go coffee - but that's over now. Because a Reddit user has finally found out why our paper cups dripping sometimes, although the lid is firmly on it.

The position of the lid is the crux!

The "wrong" position of lid and seam

Because: blame for the drop is often the "wrong" position of the lid. If the lid with the drinking opening sits exactly at the seam of the paper cup (as in the photo), it may be that our coffee drips through this unevenness at once. Because: At this point, the lid is just not quite as firmly on the cup, from the inside pushes the liquid - and already the top is dirty!

A big thank you for this realization! From now on, we only put our lid on the cup so that the drinking opening of the seam is exactly opposite - so there are never any bad surprises!
