Where are the teaspoons?

[Blackmask]

I'm looking at putting a presentation together so this is actually research. It could also be seen as meaningless spam, but in this case it's not.

The basic ingredients for a cup of coffee or tea:
1: a mug
2. coffee/tea
3. teaspoon
4. sugar
5. milk
6. kettle/coffee maker

In your house/apartment/shared kitchen where would these items be kept. The more detail the better, for example for me

1. mug is kept in a top cupboard
2. tea is kept in the pantry
3. teaspoon would be found in the top drawer in the kitchen
4. sugar, I don't have any but if I did it'd be in the pantry
5. milk in the door of the fridge
6. kettle is on the kitchen bench

[MSFixR]

Is this what you're looking for?

1. cup in cupboard
2. coffee/tea in cabinet with other dry breakfast items (cereal)
3. teaspoon in utensil drawer beneath 2 above.
4. sugar substitute in "sugar" bowl on breakfast table
5. milk in refrigerator/creamer in pantry
6. kettle on stove.

If you're summising that there are a lot of steps taken to collect these things, you're correct.

That's another way I could use it, but I'm looking for standard storage patterns.

Here teaspoons would be found in the utensil drawer, which would generally be the top drawer. Kettle/coffee maker etc would be on the bench, or stove, depending on what it is. Milk in the fridge door.

Before I go surmising this in I thought I'd get a guide.

Since they sell also milk in one gallon bottles, it can't go on the door.

For everything else, your storage pattern is the same for me, BM.

I can't even find the kitchen in my house. I'm starving!

Take the hall on the left. Go straight ahead. Can't miss it.

Statistics show that 25% of Fanhost posters can't find their own kitchen.

And the other 75% live in their kitchens.

We can get milk in 4 litre (about a gallon) bottles but the most common sizes are 2 litre (half gallon) or 1 litre.

FixR, what do you keep in the top two drawers? The teaspoons I really expected to a standard top drawer item.

[Sk8er gurl]

1. mug in the bottom shelf of a top cupboard
2. tea in the "dry food" cupboard
3. teaspoon in the top drawer
4. sugar in a rack in the kitchen
5. milk in the door of the fridge
6. kettle on the kitchen bench

[baybee]

1. Mugs middle shelf of a top cupboard.
2. Coffee in a storage container on counter directly below top cupboard containing the mug.
3. Teaspoon in top drawer
4. Sugar on counter next to coffee storage container.
5. Milk/Fat Free Half & Half on bottom shelf of fridge.
6. Coffee maker on counter with sugar and coffee container.

I drink coffee usually, but if you want instructions for finding my tea.......

1. Mugs middle shelf of a top cupboard.
2. Tea is in cupboard above counter with cereal and dry snacks.
3. Teaspoon in top drawer.
4. Sugar on counter on counter directly below top cupboard containing the mug.
5. Milk/Fat Free Half & Half on bottom shelf of fridge.
6. Tea kettle on stove.

A presentation? On this?

Wow...

Standing in the left hand corner of my kitchen, the kettle is on that area of the work top, the sink is to the right, so I can fill the kettle from there. Just above to the left is the cupboard with the mugs, tea and coffee.
In front of me are the draws, so as I stand by the kettle, the top draw is easily accessible and that's where the teaspoons are kept.
The sugar bowl is next to the kettle on the work top.
I then have to travel 8 feet diagonally across the kitchen for the milk, which is delivered in 1 pint glass bottles (3 a day, 5 on Saturday, none on Sunday) and kept in the door of the fridge.
That's the only distance I have to go to make tea or coffee.
The used tea bags are deposited in the waste bin, to the right of the kettle area, below the sink unit.

If you need more information, just ask!

You still have house to house milk delivery? We used to have that when I was a kid. Once every two weeks a farmer would come by delivering eggs. That era is long gone. There is only one company which still delivers and it is very expensive; the milk is from cows which are not fed hormones to increase milk production.

[Jocasta]

Yes, but sadly it's dying out... supermarkets are cheaper and if the milk is delivered too late in the morning, that's no use if everyone's already left the house. But my milkman delivers at about 3 am.
