Let me clarify, many of us like coffee, hot coffee spill hurts, I'm trying to see relationship between the two.
Relationship? Are you trying to suggest a hot liquid contributes to someone's weak/shaky hands? I doubt that's what you meant. If you want suggestions for how to avoid accidental burns from carrying hot coffee around, what about these:
There are various styles of mugs for arthritic hands that might work for someone with hand tremors.
Use smaller cups. They'll weigh less and won't require as much hand strength to hang on to. A cup that's too large would be harder for smaller hands to grip well. Probably safer to use mugs with ergonomic handles. If the smaller mug does spill, there will be less of the hot stuff to burn.
Use a travel mug that has a secure lid, maybe one with the option to sip instead. The person can drink it without removing the lid. Less likely to spill the contents.
Brew the coffee but let it cool before carrying it.

If you were my child I'd ask, what's your REAL question.
It's almost as if you are trying to market a product to people with shaky hands.
That occurred to me, as well. What IS the point of this thread? What IS the real question here?
However, the OP is not a new poster with only one or two posts, which is what we look for when spammers and other shysters start posting on the forums.
I do wish she would come back and explain what prompted this thread and what it is she is actually trying to get at.
This vague bit of babble:

Elderly citizens tend to have unsteady hands because of age or medical condition.
Going out to a coffee shop is not that convenient for many of them.
Making instant coffee themselves run the risk of burning their hand when they are not careful enough and they cannot be careful enough.

Certainly a massive generalization. My parents were able to make coffee just fine at the ages of 89 and 93.
As others have asked - what's the real question here?
In 1980 the doctor told me "stop drinking coffee, it is irritating your gizzard", or words to that effect.
I stopped and it was no big deal, I don't miss it at all.
My hands don't shake at all.
