I believe that was questioning the concept of finishing coffee. I.E. ‘I have finished my coffee, therefore it is time to pour another cup.’ and ‘I have emptied the coffee pot, therefore it is time to make a fresh one.’ ---

I think **Aspenglow** meat they were enjoying their coffee right up until the moment they saw that gif. Now the concept of enjoying _anything_ has become foreign. At least that’s why _I_ poured out my coffee. ---
