For me this isn't intended to be criticism so much as an analysis of how the continuity's going and an attempt to see where/if things are different to what happens IRL. I'm also looking for a way to interpret what's going on in the comic with a bias toward it being consistent as written (i.e. cut Jeph some slack)

Indeed indeed, but you could be worrying about so many other things, not just Dora serving coffee without degassing!

The horror, the horror. A business killer, I know. It causes the machines to explode and rebel against their coffee masters. Yes, in that order.

Of prime concern: Look closer at that statement of Dora's: "Here's what I had roasted for us today." *GASP* There isn't a lot of coffee in that tupperware! What are the CoD's hours? Are they expected to last on that amount of coffee all day, even on a busy day? Good heavens. You should worry about how much business the Coffee of Doom is getting! Secondly, think about the CoD's menu. They have all these fancy specials that obviously cater to the customer's taste (like cat-hair lattes), but is that it? How can everything fit in that one container? Do they only serve espresso? Do they not cater to customers who want decaf? Do they have different coffees available to brew? Don't even start to think about any leftover beans the coffee shop might have under the counter from the previous day; otherwise your brain will melt down your esophagus and rush out your genitals. I mean, really! Will she run the beans right from the roaster (OMG WHERE DOES SHE ROAST THE COFFEE???) and pour it all in another tupperware right away? Will she pour it straight into the grinder and cackle like a mad scientist in front of her customers? Or will she wait for that excess stock to disappear before using it?

Or maybe, just maybe...

I'm falling into the over-analysis trap and I just need to go make another french press.

Or, you know, we don't actually see how big that container is. It could be standing on the floor as well as on the counter, I guess...

It's a pattern I've picked up on: Jeph usually draws things smaller than reality. Look at any of the comics where people are laying on beds; the pillows are tiny! Whenever a character holds a book, it looks like a little pamphlet. Mugs look like thimbles in people's hands.  It's one of his drawing quirks.  So the size of the coffee bin makes sense. We're just supposed to assume that it's bigger.

The last panel, would've made a good "Damnit Jim, I'm a Coffee Roaster, not a....." type of crack.

... except Jim's response could have legitimately been, "You don't seem to be that, either."
