We dive into the Coffee Stains LaTeX package—a deliberately imperfect tool that generates believable coffee spills in LaTeX documents. From its 2009 origin as LaTeX Coffee to a collaborative, public-domain project, it uses the TIX vector graphics engine, a 34-color coffee palette, and user controls for opacity, scale, rotation, and position to create unique, controlled chaos. Along the way we explore what this playful technical art says about precision, creativity, and collaboration in software.
