CUP of NO
I feel left out of the coffee revolution. I love coffee cake and coffee ice cream, just not the cup o’ joe. I’m not crazy about the smell of coffee in my house in the morning though. Clearly, it isn’t genetic. My mother drinks coffee from sunrise to sunset. And, she’s always in search of the perfect coffee cup. She wants one big enough that constant refills aren’t necessary but not so big that the coffee gets cold before you can drink it. This next Call must be a mecca for the perfect coffee cup, even if it isn’t functional. Take a look…
