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).

Rare Device Handleless Mugs

When I Sarah's post about these mugs at Slashfood, I was hooked by the minimalist, yet homey design. The Signe Beaker mugs are handmade, with a ceramic transfer about either coffee or tea as decoration. The transfers are all slightly different, but might include descriptions of the flavor profile of a type of coffee or the origin of a particular tea. The mugs are thick, so it is not necessary to worry about them getting too hot to handle and they provide an excellent, comforting way to warm up your hands on a chilly night. Price: $28.
