to worry about people who have CTS on their vessels?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Three jars.

Three spaces.

Coffee on the left.

Sugar on the right.

Tea snuggly warm in the middle.

Or is there a comestible fairy that visits in the night and play three card monte with them? And people daren't play fast and loose with guessing which is which what's the fecking worst that cam happen?

Eradication Of Worded Vessels.

Mine are clear so you can see what is in them.

I only really use tea though as sugar lives in the sugar bowl and coffee is in the freezer or instant jars (caffeinated/ decaffeinated).

Just T and S here. Coffe is relegated to the drawer or frodge

The last inch of tea is forbidden... Why is that, and is there a special implement marked in inches one can buy to be certain that the last inch isn't consumed?

I have a cupboard devoted to teas, coffee beans, instant coffee, hot chocolate, cocoa, etc, and granulated sugar which inhabits an unmarked container with a clear panel and brown sugar crystals which have their own unmarked tin. Other sugars live in their original packets in the 'baking box', and ground coffee lives in the 'fridge.

No order needed for that.

izzy - I don't actually know why I never drink the last inch (or so). It's the same with coffee/hot chocolate. The really stupid thing is that sometimes I forget to tip the left bit down the sink and end up slinging tea all over the kitchen wall when I put the mugs in the dishwasher. You'd think that after over 40 years of leaving that inch, I'd know it was there...

Tea in jar by kettle, coffee in tin by coffee maker, filters in cupboard above coffee maker and sugar? who knows. We don't use it much so there are several bags of it in random cupboards. We do have light brown, dark brown, icing, caster and granulated. I do know that.

I only ever drink half a cup of tea.

If you make me half a cup to try and fox me, I will merely drink half of that

Tea and sugar in identical unmarked canisters but tea is always at the front of the cupbaord because I rarely use it. Coffe in different clear cannister. All in cupboard

Subtlety important to you?

Those are for the easily confused, Chaos!

Who's that on the phone? Oh! It's the 80s and they want their canisters back!!

Seriously.

Are these crannisters always gifts?

Or do people really beleive that their PowersOfRecallOfPlacementPosition is so very bad that a verbal prompt is required?

Arf at CurryS.

Y'see I am usually all for things that reduce bewilderment but really, these are just a step too far for me.

If anyone in my life saw fit to buy me labelled cannisters I would disown / disinherit / drop / consider them dead to me forthwith

Both drinks are utterly foul so I only keep the ingredients in the house for visitors.

The coffee comes in a jar and stays in the jar. No need for some fancy Wedgewood canister to keep it in.
Sugar goes in a canister, purely because it takes us over a year to get through a bag and it would go a bit manky if it were kept in it's original packet.
T-bags - I bought a job lot from the cash and carry a couple of years ago. I decant them into a PG Tips box so I don't look cheap!

I'm such a slattern!!

Decant into a PG tips box so you don't look cheap!

Excellent behaviour.

Very cunning.

Decant into a PG Tips box so you don't look cheap?

How cheap were the ones you decanted?!

Ha, I wondered why the hell someone was starting a thread about the Catholic Truth Society!!

I think they were about £3 for 1000 - probably contain the dust from the tea factory floor, but nobody seems to have noticed (or maybe they're too polite to complain)!!

"Zucchero" "Illy" here. Tea bags are in the cupboard as I use them infrequently.

My initials are S, C, and T.

I wanted to get the cannisters in BHS I think that just had the initials.... but balked at the £12 each bit!

and yes I would have put them in my name order...

Insomnia - just as well: you'd have ZIT otherwise (although I expect Tea does not start with a T in Italian!)
