Is it normal to dump coffee in the toilet?
Flew MKE-ATL a couple days ago. Early flight. Several people had coffee before the flight left. As we were taxiing, I saw a FA take the remaining pot of coffee and dump it in the toilet and the pot touched the toilet seat. I thought it was disgusting. Is this normal procedure?

Because he had the door open to the toilet and I was sitting across from it in the 1st row of 1st class. It was clear.

It's also standard for FAs to stick an unused bag of ground coffee on the lavatory door hook to improve the smell. AFAIK those ground coffee beans are disposed of rather than later being used to make coffee the beverage for passengers on the flight.

Why does it matter whether that coffee makes a detour through someone's body or not? It's ultimately the same liquid, just of slightly different color (and flavor I've been told).
