We have a machine in our office hoi poloi like me and we don't even need to use a spoon - hows that for spoon savage.
Surely you wash the whole spoon - unless the pot's they go in wash the spoon and then they would never be washed?

Tape doesn't go icky because it's on the un-spoonish end of the spoon. Like where no liquid makes contact. Does that make sense?
And along with tape they all go into different pots of water. Yeah it's so weird.

well, i live with flatmates/housemate- we are not so good with doing the dishes everyday..... usually i only ever make tea or coffee for me usually coffee but on the odd occasion that i make it for others i use one spoon- due to clean dishes and general lack of teaspoons. I have a method thou- i do the tea first and then the coffee- sometimes i forget but noone really seems to notice.

TWO!! And if the spoon is wet then use a new one for the sugar; i used a tea-y spoon in the sugar once at the home and my dad went mental (well, not mental but...)
My flatmate leaves the spoon in the cup when she gives it to you, so you have a dirty, boiling hot metal spoon and nowhere to put it... umm??
I used to work in a shop and make like 25+ cups of tea/coffee a day. If I used 1 spoon they could tell and I'd be crucified! (I also left a teabag in my manager's tea once, but that's another story....)

One (or soemtimes a fork/knife), for the tea, to get the teabag out. Why do you need spoons for coffee? (bareing in mind in my house no one had sugar in tea or coffee, and coffee just go poured out the jar)

oooh, i just thought, mostly if i make tea i use pyramid bags and i catch a corner and dunk it around and then pour in the milk, dunk it a little more and then squeeze. No soon required at all :P

two. definatley, and i also use seperate spoons for tea with sugar and tea without.
You called me an angel, there must be a twist,
Have you ever seen an angel with scars on her wrist?
And blood trickling down from a gash on her arm,
Have you ever seen an angel self harm?-Unknown
One spoon for each cup, and one for the sugar just to sit in there in case someone needs it (no sugar in my tea). So a minimum of two, sometimes as many as 5 (4 people drinking).
Oh gosh I'm going to have to hide after I announce this but I have been know to use as many as 4 spoons for one cup of tea. I dread to think how many I'd use making both tea and coffee at the same time!
ETA: I never even noticed how long ago this thread was started lol!

If I'm making drinks for the family I normally have to use two.
If I'm just using the one, I have to stir the coffee first because my mum always knows if the spoon has been in tea before it's been in her coffee
*snort* see no one can keep your threads at bay they come back and attack!
And i agree with 3 spoons, but as i can't get people at work to wash up their own cup getting them to clean the spoons will be a challenge. At least i've stopped them leaving them in a cup of stale water. urgh. that only took 18 months and one member of staff leaving.... (they didn't leave because of the spoons!) And AAALLLLLLLLL of my teaspoons in my houseshare seem to have been eaten by some **** which pisses me off daily. the dirty theiving skanky bastards
