When you are making coffee in a coffee maker and you lift the pot out carefully as you tilt your own cup into the stream of coffee. Taken from the opening scene of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981) when Harrison Ford's character fills a bag with sand to steal a booby-trapped idol.
Me: I was Indiana Jonesing the coffee in the breakroom this morning!
My Secretary: Yeah, you made an awful mess! (hands me a paper towel)

This expression was used in the 1972 Carly Simon song, "You're So Vain." To understand the meaning, it is helpful to read the full lyrics of the song. Prior to the refrain, the lyric "And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and..."
What was it that Simon was dreaming about? The prospect of a relationship with subject of the verse. The lyrics were written about someone after the end of a relationship, several years afterward, in fact. Simon laments that a relationship was, is, and will continue to be made impossible by the deep character flaws of the subject, most prominently, their vanity.
Understanding this, 'clouds in my coffee' refers to a metaphorical distortion or illusion. Coffee is black, clouds are white and have patterns. When one sees such things reflected in the surface of a liquid, they are readily identifiable as illusion. In matters of love, illusions are more difficult to discern.
Simon expresses her lament that her belief in a future with this shallow individual was illusory and that it was an illusion shared over the years by several other women, followed by the statement that the subject WOULD think the song was about them, a statement made ironic by the fact the song really is about them as, for once, they would be arriving at a correct conclusion even if for the wrong reasons.
As a simile: "I thought I saw an oasis, but it was a mirage, like clouds in coffee."
As a metaphor: "My dream was to be a movie star, but after many years of failure came to realize that I was seeing clouds in my coffee."
A coffee house located in the town of Wantagh, New York. They feature a wide veriety of great drinks as well as food. The great prices, nice workers and live music set the bar pretty high for their competition.
Example 1: Do you want to go to the cup coffee house tonight? I love that place!
Example 2: Maybe Liam will be at the cup tonight!

a song written by the band known as Dethklok. It was performed at Batsfjord, Norway where over 300,000 fans attended to hear the single be performed live. Fans signed "pain waivers" before attending this concert due to its brutality. The song was written for the Duncan Hills Coffee Corporation. According to the Frontman Nathan Explosion, they were there..."to make coffee metal, everything metal... Blacker than the blackest black, times infinity."
My best friend died at the Dethklok concert while listening to "Duncan Hills Coffee".

When entering her from behind, resting your Ice Cold Molson Canadian on her back.
Durwin invented the Canadian Coffee Table when his beer was too cold to hold onto as he banged away.
A drink made out of milk and sold as coffee. The flavor of the coffee is usually masked or hidden by the sugary syrups that are added. The best way to get your daily dairy intake and a great way to cure hangovers.
Starbucks is America's number one dairy supplier by selling large amounts of coffee flavored milk.
