I too often drink out of my pot. I take the little cup just for measuring, scooping, and being able to have something in the pot while drinking something else, and since the little plastic cup weighs darn near nothing (I should put it on the gram scale) I take it anyway..

the real short answer is - FBC egg and taters -> coffee in pot, drunk from pot.. Oatmeal in pot -> coffee in cup, drunk from cup
