Digi-Mug, Digital Picture Frame on a Coffee Mug

Who doesn't like a nice warm drink and enjoying some beautiful scenery?

If you happen to be some where not particularly interesting appearance wise now you can bring along any image of your choosing, with the

Digi-Mug

As you can see, just drink and view, drink and view...


This coffee mug's inventor does get recognition for the engineering of keeping electronics working adjacent to high temperatures.(let's hope)

As for the number of different pictures you can view in the mug's 1 and a half inch digital photo frame, the mug has a storage capacity of 1MB, which should allow it hold about 50 different pictures.

I'll venture a guess to say that Digi-Mug coffee mug is hand wash only.

Blue and Tan Mug Pleases the Eye

The metallic blue and tan of this coffee mug fit together in a comforting way.




Seems a drink out of this handcrafted mug would do well to have a brisk crisp refreshing taste.

The texture of the carved rings on the mug add a nice extra dimension to the appearance. I'm sure what they add to the physical feel of this one of a kind stoneware coffee mug is appreciated as well.

White & Blue Whimsical Ceramic Stoneware Mug

A nice piece of Art mug here.







This Blue, White, and Red speckled coffee mug looks like it would be nice to drink out of. I imagine something frothy would go quite well with both the cloud like appearance of the mug, as well the wide rim on the mug.

The large mug length handle seems as though it would happily facilitate a nice pour in to your mouth of whatever beverage you happened to be enjoying.


I commend the shaper and glazer of this mug for its attractive appearance. The shape of the white sections is particularly enjoyable looking somewhat like some bodies of water look like when depicted on a map.

Coffee Printer! - Riti Printer

Have some things that need printing but low on printer ink?

in comes...

Eco-Friendly printer ink at its most aromatic.

If you have the Riti Printer, the coffee grounds printer. Some used coffee grounds laying around and a little time you'll have no trouble getting your printing done that's because instead of typical printer ink the Riti printer uses coffee grounds "ink".

Sounds and smells like a good idea to me.

China's Developing Taste for Coffee Continues

Chinese Coffee

Last year the number of Coffee rosting plants in China was 25, this year the number has grown to 30 Chinese coffee roasting plants. This is of course not very surprising to most who are aware of the rapid pace of development in China. It may even seem like a somewhat low number, and it is.

The Chinese aggregate coffee consumption is roughly 30,000 metric tons a year, well behind the more than 400,000 metric tons consumed by Japan each year. Japan is the third largest importer of Coffee each year.

The news in this is that Marubeni Corp., a Japanese coffee trading company, expect the Chinese Coffee market to expand at around 20 percent a year potentially reaching upwards of 200 million. This is good news for Marubeni Corp., who opened a Shanghai subsidiary in 2006, and the other coffee roasters and growers in China, seeing as how Japan is imports and consumes the huge amount of coffee they do with a total population of just ~ 127 million people. 127 million behind substatially less than the 200 million strong of the projected Chinese coffee market.

The Chinese coffee train is just leaving the gate!

Chinese Coffee Taste Preference

The majority of Chinese tend to prefer strongly flavored coffees.

Many like their coffee beans prepared in the manner of cappuccinos, frescatos and lattes.
