I admit it, I'm guilty. I do use a spoon to drink with my hot tea sometimes. After I stir in the sugar I just kind of leave it in the tea cup for a while and sip at the tea. I've always done this. My mother told me years ago that you're not supposed to leave a spoon in the cup. I do it anyway. How about you?

Hello Shar19! hahaha! I am guilty of that too. I remember when my husband was here, we went to a hotel together and then we ordered coffee. When we started drinking, he got amused why I am using spoon when drinking it. Of course! It's too hot. I just can't drink it immediately..hehehe..

Whenhaving my coffee I use sugar and I don't keep my spoon after fixing it. I rinse it off and leave it on a saucer for the next time I wish to make a cup.
If I have hot tea, for some reason I know not why I will put my spoon on the saucer under my cup when I am done stiring the sugar in it. I use it the next time for another sup if I wish one.

Yes I do. The reason is because the coffee or tea is still hot. I even blow it first before I drink it. I don't want to scald my tounge. I always use a spoon in drinking hot beverages.

I'm guilty sometimes. But more so with hot tea after I stir in the sugar its just there. I think its due back to when I was a kid and it was way to hot to drink normally. But I will admit I do it all the time with hot chocolate, you need it to eat the whipped cream or mini marshmallows..lol. Do we every truly grow up?

I have friends that leave their spoon in the cup and sip from it rather than the cup itself. I have never been able to that. Coffee is a spiritual ritual for me. LOL

I have to be able to hold the cup close to my face, enjoy the steam and aroma of the coffee rising from my mug before each and every sip.

I only use it to stir my sugar in.. And then that's about it.. But nothing else.. I'll put it at the side of the cup on the saucer.
But I don't drink the coffee from the spoon. Sometimes I do sip coffee with the spoon to test the heat and also whether it's sweet enough.
But I think it's not such a bad thing, as long as you're happy with it..:)

I don't drink coffee or tea, YUCK! so I would have to say my answer is no. However, I do drink hot cocoa and I will drink it with a spoon when it is still really hot but once it cools off I don't use the spoon anymore.

Hello Shar19

My mum used to tell me off for drinking tea/coffee with the spoon still in the cup as she feared I would poke my eye out with it! I haven't done it in years and I guess it is just a habit I got out of after all my mother's nagging.
