Um… it’s a Squirrel Coffee Cup. The squirrel is not included. It’s currently $6.73. For a little porcelain cup. Like little-little. Just over an inch square. Nope, I don’t get it. But for those that do, here’s a squirrel* to go with it.

It might not be the most practical of travel coffee mugs (being made of glass and all), but it certainly looks good. For those that appreciate the ability to see what lurks at the bottom of the coffee cup, check out the GROSCHE Glassen RED hand made double walled glass insulated travel coffee mug, 350 ml (12 fl oz). Actually, the see-through mug might not be such a bad idea considering how murky the first few days of the new year can feel! Cheers!

The invention of the coffee sleeve was a pretty clever bit of thinking outside the cup. The Rika, a mock croc leather coffee sleeve from Jimmy Choo, is well… a pretty clever bit of thinking outside the pocketbook. Way outside at $165 a pop.

First there was smokeless tobacco and now we have cupless coffee. Marketed as an alternative to chew for baseball players (and beyond), Grinds Coffee Pouches are exactly what they sound like. However instead of inserting them into a capsule coffeemaker they are inserted directly into the mouth. It looks like they have been around for awhile (at least one World Series ago judging from the World Champions SF Giants love on their website), but their relative obscurity doesn’t mean they won’t be a hit. Order up!

This Scooby Doo Zoinks! It’s Morning Coffee Mug by ICUP certainly got the sentiment correct regarding mornings. Considering that it is Monday on top of it, better make it a double shot. Can’t even blame those meddling kids for the start of the week. Jinkies!

Cookie Monster has always known what’s up with the letter ‘C’. Smart cookie, that Cookie. Not only does his favorite treat start with ‘C’, so does his lesser-known other favorite treat: coffee! (It’s pretty obvious if you notice what a spazz he is.) Being the obsessive type, there is no other mug everybody’s favorite monster would choose other than one picturing himself. The Sesame Street Cookie Monster 18-Ounce Ceramic Mug is his only drinking vessel of choice. For either milk or coffee. Got cookie? Om nom nom nom…

Also available for his pals, Oscar the Grouch and Elmo.
