Besides making a potent cup of coffee, who knew that your French Press could be used to perfectly dunk your Oreos? Enter the Mini Dipper. Simply fill your French Press with milk, load up a few Oreos on the plunger, and dunk.
Since you’re now able to do a bunch of cookies at a time, you can invite a few friends over for a cookie and coffee party. Oh, the French press is filled with milk? Then just a cookie party then.

Too lazy to heat up some pre-made soup? Well, if you’re also too lazy to make a decent cup of coffee — which explains why you own a Keurig coffee maker — then Campbell’s Soup K-Cups are here to help.
Just pop a Campbell’s K-Cup into your ‘coffee’ maker, and let it brew over the included packet of dry pasta and “vegetable blend garnish.” A tepid cup o’ soup with coffee remnants will be ready in no time. Your move, Cup Noodles.

How may lumps do you take in your coffee? Russian artist Dina Belenko takes just enough to recreate a few old-school video games in her series, 8-Bit Teatime.
Showing just how ridiculous video game technology once was — Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Tetris are recreated rather convincingly with nothing but sugar cubes. Quarters up, and check out Belenko’s work here.

If you’re the type who expresses themselves best with a keyboard-induced pictorial representation of a facial expression, and you like cups, check out Emoji Paper Cups. The cups will not only let everyone else in viewing distance know how you feel, but they can be altered as your mood changes.
For instance, in the morning, you can show how you feel before your coffee (whatever the emoticon for ‘stabby’ is), and then progress to ‘less stabby.’ Emoji Cups are also great for parties, for when you’d rather not mistakenly drink from your grumpy friend’s cup.
Face it… Sitting at Starbucks pretending to get work done can be boring. And, coffee cup doodling is an effective time-killer.
UK-based illustrator Johanna Basford has taken the concept of cup art, but cranks out some legitimate works. Using what she refers to as “inky magic,” Basford works around the mermaid icon, disclaimers, and other Starbucks mumbo jumbo — creating doodles that’ll make most coffee house-dwelling procrastinators jealous.
