I worry less about "unattractive" coffee cups than I do about the waste of 
resources from Starbuck's, etc., cups made of tree flesh. And, what about the 
politics of coffee? How many indigenous cultures have gone under due to the 
world's appetite for this addictive, though FDA-approved, Colombian stimulant?

I once saw the Dutch movie, "Max Havelar" which was all about coffee 
imperialism in the East Indies. I came out of the theater swearing off coffee 
and looking to kidnap Henry Kissinger.
