Fresh coffee, new mug

[payasam]

Sent the design on Thursday, got this mug on Monday. Still to be seen if coffee tastes better.

nice mug. too bad it arrived before your new bessa. enjoy some good strong coffee whilst you wait.

 

[Trius]

I predict the coffee will have a unique glow.

 

[functus]

Coffee will taste much better, but only people who have drunk from the same cup will understand.

 

[Merkin]

It looks like that coffee mug has a pretty large aperture, so it should be able to hold enough coffee for those mornings where you are forced to use it in very low light.

3.75 inches high, huh. A 90mm coffee mug! How about a 35mm espresso cup? Make the cup with straight sides and your coffee mug would have a matching bidi holder.

I also like how it's wide open in this picture. And remember: don't stop it down too much when drinking, you might find yourselves diffraction-limited ;-)

Is that a focusing tab on the side of the mug?!

Coffee will taste much better, but only people who have drunk from the same cup will understand.

Now that's "coffee-out-of-my-nose" -funny.

I'm sure this mug will give your coffee some bokeh, but wonder about the red lettering. Won't it be too distracting?

Also, how quiet is it? How about loading it? Is that a special edition mug?

Now if you can get some cooperation between Leica and Starbucks so that all their coffee shops sell the mugs (Starbucks doesn't seem to have any mugs for less than $7.95 U.S.) and pay you maybe 25 cents for every one sold you'll be the richest dude in Dehli! Then you can start marketing "The Official Mukul Dube Leica Razor". It never gets dull because it doesn't have any blade (...and nothing works better than beard hair for gently wearing through the black paint on the edges of your Leica!)

A little black gaffers tape and it will be ready to roll.

I have the same mug but taped up the logo. Now when I drink coffee with that mug, I'm invisible.

 

[rxmd]

Good you didn't go for a bottom loader.

 

[payasam]

O [lord|lady|child|puppy], what have I done to deserve this barrage of irreverence?

 

[Al Kaplan]

We love you Mukul!

 

[payasam]

In three days or so I should have another mug, same size and colours, but with "Leica" in somewhat smaller letters and no stripes at top and bottom. Watch the Less Than $100 ads. If a member can sell a Victorinox knife with "Leica" screen printed on it, I'd be a mug if I didn't try to sell mugs.

 

[MickH]

If I buy it will it make me a better coffee drinker?

 

[Ljós]

This is the rare "rare earth"-clay version, right? Your coffee sure is gonna have that "glow" ;-)

 

[payasam]

You chaps will force me out of RFF.

Is there any way to take back a thread? I mean, wipe out all traces and convince oneself and the world that it never existed?
