Default My new coffee mug

OK, there was nothing wrong with my old coffee mug (ask matrix ), but it was time for a new one.

In the true energy conservation tradition of a sustainabily scientist (like me) I got this insulated, stainless steel thermo cup:



This is actually my most obsolete purchase in the last 25 years (which, as a matter of fact, includes everything I've ever bought ) It does keep your coffee damn hot though!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that it was free! All I had to do was to buy 171 packages of coffee, 250 grams each. I could have bought 428 packs of tea instead though.
But see, it wasn't an actual purchase, so that makes it better

yeah, last option. But it gave me an idea nevertheless, how about the original CDZ Miffy the Iffy mug. Or t-shirt saying 'My words are backed with fluffy feelings'

Nah, plain old plastic single use polluting cups for me. I'll probably get a digital camera in a couple of weeks, I might take pics of them and show you while in photo frenzy moments.

That used to be my stance versus coffee mugs as well, but my "ius primi poculi" mug is a half of a liter. Too. Much.

I always thought saving up DE bonuspoints was something for the good old housewife back in the 50-ies...
