Velvet Spoon Routine

Trying not to hit the sides of the mug with the spoon when you're stirring your brew, because the clink will wake anybody you live with up and then they will want one.

Joe: What took you so long with the coffee?
Steve: I had to do the Velvet Spoon Routine. If I hit the side of the mug, the clinking sound would’ve woken my roommate up, and he would’ve wanted one.
