The only solution is to take the phone off the hook *after* you pour
the coffee, but before you pour the milk in.  By taking the phone off
the hook, you pretend you're talking on the phone.  This will invariably
force the door-bell to ring.  If this doesn't work, try dialing the 
operator.  It sometimes helps to have someone on the other end.  If
it *still* doesn't work, try filling the bathtub, or running the shower
for a few minutes.  That should do it.

Or you could skip the whole thing by pouring the hot coffee into cold milk.
