no, I believe there is a more scientific explanation other than me being just too stupid to carry coffee from one place to another... something with surface structure and molecules and stuff...
put water in a coffee mug to the same level and walk around the exact same way you do with the coffee. it will slop around and spill out the same way. most glasses taper towards the bottom and the fluid in them doesn't slosh around the same as your standard straight-sided mug.

hmm.. reason going towards a scientific mind
but then.. you ask yourself... "er did they just say... FLUIDER" ????
It's probably because you're concentrating too much on not spilling the coffee. When I was a waiter they used to tell me to not look at the coffee when I was taking it out to the table and it worked. If I looked at it and thought about what I was doing then I more than likely spilled it.
The same could be said with water. You're not concerned about spilling water because it doesn't stain and will dry relatively quick. Also, the temperature factor plays a part. No one likes hot coffee spilled on them.

Try it and see if I'm right.

i guess it's because coffee has much heavier compositions (sugar,caffeine etc) than on water which contains only oxygen and hydrogen.
sounds good
