With my luck I'd knock it over with my hand and the
liquid would find that little hole and spill through
it -- or if I had a straw in it, it would spill
through the straw.  Thus the little trickle that
manages to get into the crack of the machine would be
even harder to find an clean up that a larger spill.

Know myself, I keep liquids away. What i might doi s
put it on a tv table next to me( and I'd probably be
sure to knock it off, but at least it would go ont he
floor.
