24 Karat Gold and Diamonds Coffee Cup

Filed under: Dining

I'm not sure what wealthy person would even want to drink out of a golden coffee cup studded with diamonds (Donald Trump maybe?) but one exists nevertheless, thanks to German porcelain maker KGM. The cup and saucer set has a base of fine porcelain that's accented with 24 karat gold, blue cobalt, and diamonds. Valued at €30,000 the design looks a little dated and gaudy to me, but I suppose as a collector's item or investment piece it's interesting enough -- certainly a conversation piece!

The Ultimate Coffee Cup?

Is this the ultimate coffee cup? Designer David Pier says so. He has designed this white porcelain cup and saucer to be the best around. The set is made from lead-free porcelain, and is microwave and dishwasher safe. The saucers also double as lids. What makes this mug different is that it has an undulating rim designed to fit the rim better and prevent spills. The oval body is meant to bring the center of gravity closer to the hand. I am not sure whether or not it is the ultimate coffee cup but the design has a certain fluid charm. It sells for $22 each (buy five and get the sixth free).
