Maze Cafe Cup and Saucer | $14.95
What a neat saucer to put under a coffee cup! It looks like an everyday cup and saucer, but just a drop of coffee on the saucer becomes a game as the drip finds it ways through the maze of grooves. The Maze Cafe Cup and Saucer was designed by artist Erdem Selek and is available now in the NeatoShop. Get your morning coffee and your morning puzzle at the same time! And be sure to check out the many other clever cups and mugs from the NeatoShop!
Etsy seller sewtara made a coffee cup cozy that keeps you updated on how quickly it’s caffeinating you. It’s made of embroidered muslin with a cotton lining.
If you love Twitter or you love the people you follow on Twitter, you can buy a coffee mug made with your Twitter friends’ profile pictures on it! What else is neat is that you don’t have to buy one to generate a picture. This one has my contacts on it. Link -via the Presurfer
Using a new, high-tech material, German scientists Klaus Sedlbauer and Herbert Sinnesbichler have developed a coffee cup that will keep your drink at the optimum temperature for drinking. Phase change material (PCM) was already in use as a building and clothing material because of its temperature-regulating capability. Now it will keep your coffee from going cold!
CM is able to absorb and maintain heat or cold for long periods of time. It melts when warmed and solidifies when cooled. Different PCMs have different melting points. If a hollow-framed mug were filled with PCM that becomes liquid at exactly 136.4 degrees Fahrenheit (the ideal drinking temperature for warm beverages) and the mug’s reservoir filled with a warm beverage, the PCM would absorb excess heat, bringing the liquid down to drinking temperature and keeping it there long enough for you to enjoy your coffee.
Sedlbauer and Sinnesbichler are looking for a manufacturer and distributor for their coffee cup. Link – via babycreativeblog

David Thorne, who once paid a bill with a picture of a spider and crashed a party now gives the office manager an idea about washing coffee cups. The email trail will no doubt remind you of situations you’ve encountered in your workplace.
Due to there being an unprecedented twelve coffee cups needing to be cleaned in the sink at work, it is understandable that Shannon would be outraged by this intrusion on her facebook and looking out the window time.
Though kitchen duties may be an expected part of her job role, there is no reason why everyone should not reschedule work/client commitments and help out to ensure Shannon’s social networking and looking out the window time is not interrupted.

What do you do with all those drink holders you’ve accumulated from Starbucks? (You didn’t throw ‘em away, did you?)
Well, Wired contributing photographer Dan Winters make something out of his: a Star Wars TIE Fighter made out of 50 Starbucks cups, 216 stirrers and over 60 drink holders.
Ever had a craving for cake, but making an entire one is too time consuming and buying a whole one goes to waste? How about a single-sized chocolate cake in your coffee mug! Instructables has a great recipe for this quick, easy and very tasty treat. It takes 2 minutes to prepare and 3 minutes to cook. Top it off with icing sugar or whipped cream. Enjoy!
