Of course the cup had coffee in in it Cath. It didn't say she dropped it in a cup of of coffee. What it didn't have, quite clearly, was milk or water. We're not told about sugar though. LOL
I thought maybe it was just an old coffee stain
Clever ideal. Nice Job
In the question, it specifies "while the coffee is being made" i.e., it is not yet a cup of coffee with coffee, sugar, milk and (hot) water! All that is in the cup is the dry coffee powder (and an earring)
