The ubiquitous coffee cup, it’s attached to the hand of 57.8%* of the American public at any given time. See someone without a coffee cup and they fall into one of two categories: the non-coffee drinker or the cranky coffee drinker.
When we are finished with our beloved coffee and have to throw away our paper coffee cups, it’s like having to say goodbye to a dear friend. “Goodbye my paper coffee cup friend. I will miss you and the times we had together. I’m sorry it has to end like this. I will see some of your friends in about 39 minutes when I take my next coffee break. I will tell them that you lived a great life, worked hard, and didn’t spill any coffee on my pants. Thank you for being you.”
But what if you didn’t have to say goodbye? The “I Am Not A Paper Cup” is a double-walled, thermal porcelain coffee cup with a silicon lid and the best part, you never throw it away. Well, not on purpose anyway. It looks like a paper coffee cup, but it’s so much more. No more heart tugging goodbyes–this coffee cup relationship can last forever.

If Optimus Prime and R2D2 got married and had a baby, it would probably look like the Nescafe Dolce Gusto. A way out, funky single serve coffee maker that also turns into a lawn mower and beeps incessantly. Probably not the right design for a country inspired kitchen, but for more of a modern kitchen or dorm room, this may fit the bill nicely. Prepares espresso, lungo, cappuccino, latte, and hot chocolate with a turn of a lever. Available in red, cream, or black. 16 coffee capsules run $8.50 per box – or about 54 cents per cup.
