What a purrfect way to start the day… Adorable cats illustrated using coffee. Coffee Cats is a fun project by Moscow-based artist Elena Efremova.
Each of Efremova’s felines rely on the type of coffee being used. For example, a beautiful brown cat is created using the tones from an Americano, while espresso is used for a darker cat. Check out more below.

Are you a zombie in the morning? Then here’s the perfect set of mugs to help start your day. Turkey Merck Pottery, created by ceramicist Kevin “Turkey” Merck, is a beautiful series of drinking vessels, made to look like realistic zombie heads.
The ceramic mugs are designed and handmade by Merck, and released in very limited quantities at a time. Although, this type of awesomeness will cost a bit more than your average coffee mug — starting at around $200 USD each.

Never brew your espresso shots without the accompaniment of mellifluous music again. The Music Box Espresso Machine, by Hammacher Schlemmer, is the world’s first combination mechanical music box and coffee maker.

SPOILER ALERT: Caffeine is wonderful. It can be made even more so, when delivered in this awesome Star Wars packaging and drank through Darth Vader’s breathe-hole.
