La copa es llena. El piso es mojado. El té es caliente. These are facts that might change. But I think Falagar got it quite right. You use 'estar' when talking about location and the state of mind or mood of a person. And you use 'ser' for everything else  That's how I think when I speak Spanish

My impression about the use of 'estar' and 'ser' is that 'ser' is used when talking about fundamental and stable conditions, while 'estar' is used when talking about a state that is likely to change. Does that make sense?
