My aunt once gave me this really cool coffee cup "What a perfect European should be like?" printed on it, and then there are all these crazy stereotypes about different European nationalities.
My favorite coffee mug is my oversized Beatles one. It has pictures of the Beatles during different stages of their musical career (Yellow Submarine, Magical Mystery Tour, etc.).
Huge dark blue ceramic mug made by a local artist in Mendocino. The perfect vessel for Blue Mountain coffee. =)
