Why not drink the entire cup though?

Because then they wouldn't have any left. I just drink half of what's in the cup each time so I never run out.

While I can appreciate an infinite sum, as so: I think the surface tension of coffee would only allow about 4800 drops per cup, so you'd be able to drink half about 13-14 times before you'd run out.

That was a snort spraying coffee everywhere. It’s not often that a math joke is just the perfect response at the perfect time

In Applied Coffee Drinking, you need to account for splitting the atoms when the cup is that low.
