If you're a tea drinker can you tell if the spoon used was previously used to stir coffee?

This was a complaint I received when I made a cuppa.

I wouldn't know if it worked the other way round as I stir my coffee first

Do you use separate spoons for separate drinks?

In particular tea and coffee.

And sugared and not sugared?

I do now use different spoons tho

Just in case I get another awkward twat on the brew round

I use different spoons for tea and coffee, and always do the no sugar before the sweetened ones

I use different spoons and can sometimes tell if it has been used before to stir coffee.

I worked with a guy who had 4 teaspoons of sugar in his tea and he could tell if you either missed a bit of sugar out or put a tiny bit too much in....how I do not know as it was bonkers sweet as it was, yukk!

Yep.

And apparently you shouldn't be able to smell sugar in tea..

My husband tested the theory... apparently I can!

Never outdone the Army will invariably use the same insulated containers to serve coffee, tea, squash, soup, stew etc. without adequately washing them out.

The standard range drink is best described as coffeetea with bits.

Adding sugar is the only means of making the stuff drinkable*.

*or, maybe, pouring it through a sieve.

If making a round of brews, I use a different spoon for tea and coffee, also a separate spoon for sugar
