That's a really, really good riddle that I was introduced to about 30 years ago. Took me a couple of days to solve, but the satisfaction was immense!

Out of the first coffe...
It stands for: I love B4X
First character is clearly a super ego I, with that arrow pointing up..
Heart is often used to represent love
B is the missing character
Next you can see 4 segments
The circle stands for All . The same as the X in B4X.

Ok, time for my next coffee

Unfortunately, I saw it in a movie and they gave the solution after just a few seconds. I didn't get a chance to think about it, and I'm sorry. I would have liked to test myself.

I think mathematicians will really like it

No, but I can tell you that your post made me nervous: I woke up just "now", I don't have the coffee ready and I have to make it with the moka pot: too much effort!

I share a secret with you. I too use the moka but since it produces up to 5 coffee cups I save the remaining ones in a thermos so to have it ready at a later time..
Laziness is what makes the brain work to hack out problems.. hehe

Yes, I "store" it in the moka pot (when I don't drink it all), so when I wake up, I take it from there and heat it up in the microwave, but when I find the moka pot empty...!

Useful hint
Indeed so.

complete the series: ottffss......

If you figure out the symbol of the next character in the above series then you have the answer but then need to explain how it fits into the puzzle by @LucaMs

I feel like creating a little animated gif, just for one of the random "symbols," to reveal the "mystery," but I need to give everyone time to guess.

I still go with U..... If this was like hieroglyphics then I would, according to my great Egyptian hieroglyphic interpretation go for the complete sentence to be "I Love U For Ever"

First chat represent I
Second char represent Love
Third char - to fill
Fourth char - For (meaning arrow pointing up and meaning for a very long time)
Five char - Man laying upside down meaning reached Forever.

So, first bite was a U for "I Love U For Ever". But the hazy mist cleared up eventually and therefor the series ottffss....to complete the puzzle partially.

Nice puzzle

I figured it out long time ago. Just telling you what was my first bite at it. The char of the next word in the series is the answer. Have you figured out the series?
