Narrative:
I brewed a pot of coffee. I went to xfer the coffee from a metal pot to a serving container. I hit the metal pot on the corner of a galley compartment or the assist handle connected to the galley compartment. Since the opening of the metal is so large, the coffee splashed out of the pot and covered the right side of my face, my right eye, chest and right arm. Only my face and right eye were burned. A cold compress and a water gel pack were applied. After landing in phl, paramedics met the flight. I was taken to a hospital and treated, then released.
