How to Stir a Beverage Noiselessly
How to Stir a Beverage Noiselessly
In many places, etiquette dictates that you should not allow your spoon to clink against your cup when you are stirring your tea or coffee. Here is how to avoid this gaffe.
Steps

Take the spoon between the thumb and forefinger.

Insert the spoon in the middle of the of the cup until the entire head is submerged.

Fix your gaze on the rim of the cup opposite yourself and place your ring finger along the edge of the cup. (Measure the width of a finger and a half with your ring and middle fingers.) Move the spoon until the center touches your fingers.

Try again without using your finger. Then, try the same action in the other direction.

Draw an imaginary circle in the cup and move the spoon following this imaginary path.

Remove your fingers and try it without help. Remember that the imaginary path is a "safe" circle where you can move the spoon as you wish. Outside it, it's quite certain that you'll hear the sound you are trying to avoid.

Practice. The trick is to move the wrist and the fingers rather than the whole arm. Practicing will ensure that you master this art quickly.

What's your reaction?
