Scoop some out with a metal spoon. The liquid in the spoon should cool quickly so you can still drink it without wasting any. Repeat until the level is low enough to carry.

Now how am I supposed to get this to my desk without either spilling it all over or burning my lips trying to slurp it here. I've been drinking coffee for at least 25 years and I still do this to myself at least 3 times a week.
At least you get it in the cup. I have coworkers who forget their mug is beside the Keurig machine and press start... Lol
Wick it. Carefully touch the corner of a paper towel to the coffee, and let the coffee draw up into the paper towel. Repeat until the coffee is low enough for you to have a good chance at passing an agility check.
Pour milk first
Pour some into the nearby sink.
I don't waste good coffee.
Move your coffee machine to your desk so you can make and pour coffee without having to move the mug!
I live in a small granny cottage and "my desk" means the kitchen table 2.5 meters away. I technically could move it to my desk and it would still remain in the kitchen.
A very long straw!

I'd probably nurse it a little until it was safe enough to transport. Although youd have to wait for it to cool first.
When this happens to me, I sip it right then and there, burning my lips as punishment for letting it get to that point. I no longer have lips, but now it rarely gets to that point for me anymore.
Mostly /s but coffee is usually not so hot that I can't take a few sips of shame to get it to a more manageable level.
I've tweaked my coffee machine (okay, a simple Senseo) so it always gives exactly the right amount so something like this won't happen every.

this is your fault lmao
There’s a scene at the beginning of Friendship that seems made for you.
Clearly, just put the yeti top on.
You sip from the edge, duh. I figured this out in grade school, jeez.
