Gorgeous! I love dragonflies & have a pair of dragonfly earrings. Hugely popular motif in art nouveau, too

These are 3 cups that live on a permanent basis on my desk at work. From left to right, for drinking single espressos, double espressos and long black coffees.
The single espresso cup is my most favourite one, it was left behind by a Greek friend of mine when he moved back to Greece. It seems to be a branded cup and I don’t know what the Greek writing says:
Is the man drinking the coffee in the picture meant to be Mexican?! Colombian?
The red double espresso cup is Le Creuset - one of set of rainbow hued cups I received as a leaving present from a previous job.
The cups are very stained with black coffee as they are used very frequently but washed not very frequently

Well, if that sort of care is preferred for a Bialetti, why wouldn’t it work for cups and mugs?

It means “this is coffee.”

My favorite for, I’d think, obvious reasons. The handle broke off a couple of years ago but I glued it back and it’s stayed on.

From the one weird trick category: I use denture tablets to remove caffeine stains from the interior of ceramic mugs if they become discolored from caffeine. That discoloration can be so dang stubborn.

I use OxyClean. I also use it in my coffee pot. For really stubborn stains, I usually go straight to BKF.
