Coffee Collectibles: Coffee Advertising Mugs






It's almost natural that coffee lovers are into collecting coffee mugs... I am no exception...

While I cannot consider myself a serious coffee mug collector, my collection is getting bigger all the time! Most of which are gifts from friends and family members who know I would anytime appreciate a coffee-themed gift!

These mugs I feature here are the latest additions... I have picked them up from the neighbourhood mall... Nothing fancy, just some ordinary mugs modelled after vintage coffee advertising graphics...

Mother's Coffee? Not true! I have picked up coffee-drinking from both my maternal and paternal grandmothers...



These mugs, if they last that long, will surely serve me well when I run my own cafe in the future...

In the meantime, they will need to sit very quietly in the display cabinet, along with all their friends... One day, they will be serving good coffee... handcrafted by me!

About me...





Guess it was about time I said a thing or two about myself...

Coffee fascinates me endlessly... Be it the plant, the bean, the drink or the culture, I am all ears when it comes to coffee...

Naturally, I collect anything coffee. Collecting coffee? Well, not so much the drink or the bean, but coffee merchandise and everything nice...

Browsing through the collectibles in this Mykonos coffee parlour...



I will share my coffee collection from time to time... but I have just started out not too long ago, so the collection has not earned itself a full-fledged gallery as yet!

One word of caution though... I will be mentioning Starbucks a lot. No, they don't pay me any endorsement fee nor do I get free drinks from them... I just happen to be another joe who loves the Starbucks culture. But then again, I drink Starbucks lesser than I mention them!

I will not be featuring much pictures of myself here. Those who know me through FaceBook, know how I look like, so let's keep it that way...
