So, I have this little issue when I go to diners. I like to add milk and cream to my coffee to cool it down. However, a lot of diners use those little milk/cream packets. Some places will give you the little pitcher pot to pour your milk out.
The issues on the diner's end is that preparing the milk
pot is time consuming for the waitress, and you may end up not using all the milk, hence wasted milk. However, those supid little packets are so small that the waitress usually has to refill my little bowl of packets a few times anyway, so it's just as time consuming.
So I propose refrigerated milk and cream be piped to the counter at the diner and a few taps put in, let's say one for every two chairs. Saves the waitress time, saves me time and lets me easily put in as much milk as I want, and if you insulate the pipes all the way to the tap, the milk will always be nice and cold.
A large investment for what is simply a trivial annoyance, but would be awesome nonetheless.
similar but reg. milk and chocolate milk!

why just milk, when you can deliver entire meals? [xenzag, Sep 14 2012]

Ew... why even bother pasteurizing it. |

I swear to God my first thought was that this would be
a device that allows you to hold a little military-style
funeral for your dairy product as you pour it into its
final resting place (i.e. your coffee cup). |

Highly suitable for the Korova Milk Bar. |
|
| |
How do you milk a Korova? |
|
| |
Or how about a little bowl of frozen milk or cream cubes on the counter? |
|
| |
You are.... Your quite serious about this aren't you? |
|
| |
Has it occurred to you to ask for a cool coffee when ordering? |
|
| |
Now. If there is anything else I can help with..... |

Now Ed, you know that the day after they installed these things you would be banned from the place for suckling intemperately right from the tap. Just like what happed with your schemes for the mayonnaise pump and the coffee troughee. |

Strange... most of the self-serve coffee shops here have started doing exactly this. |
|
| |
I've seen customer-accessible milk and cream taps a few
times in my travels (I think the last one I saw was in
southwest England). I
would call this baked, but not widely known. |
|

What [2Fries] said...well almost...the quick stop coffee places all have either taps with milk, cream and half & half, or some have cold carafes with pump tops. |

A better solution would be a small model of the
Niagara Falls with milk flowing over the falls at
one end, cream at the other end and, of course,
half-and-half in the middle. |

Now I have a disturbing vision of Viagra Falls machines installed in the premises' bathrooms. |
