Really dumb question.....but it's bugging me

[POO505R]

I've just made tea & coffee for everyone, but I've noticed that when you stir them the spoon makes different sounds.... when you stir the cups of tea it makes a "ding" sound, but in coffee it's a "dong" sound. Any explanations??

Could it be something to do with the volume of the drink in the cup, the usual amount of coffee (1 tbsp?) is heavier than tea aswell .... I'm probably just yapping on about random possibilities :D but they might have something to do with it .... ???

Your coffee sounds boring, my coffee talks to me, it tells me all about ..... http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g202/gr8link/orn/00.gif

Been thinking, it might be the mug itself, depends whether you use different size mugs

[LotusElise]

Size, thickness and volume of mug will all make a difference. Size and construction of teaspoon is also important...

I was thinking of the cup construction too. However, it could be the cries of the tea and the coffee micro-organsims.

It's the little things that matter. :)

While we're on the subject of hot beverage related mysteries, why does an electric kettle not switch itself off, unless the lid is on firmly? Anyone?

Pressure switch - so it relies on the steam building up?

Maybe i should get out more too :p :

[jim mcglinchey]

Hang about, how can any pressue build up if theres a great hole, in the form of a pouring spout, in the top of the kettle?

Just a thought - there must be a certain amount of pressure forcing the steam out of the spout in the first place.

Got a better suggestion? ;)

I just checked my English-Spoon Dictionary.

Ding means - "this is yummy"

Dong means - "I'm dizzy & feel like puking."
