One reason I hate having guests over is having to juggle three or four mugs of coffee at once. You’d think they’d be polite and reject my offers of a warm beverage, but no, it’s always take, take, take. Why is  there never any give?! HUH?!

Anyway, the point is that juggling so many mugs isn’t only annoying, it could be hazardous. If one of them just “happens” to “slip” out of your hand “accidentally” and spews scalding hot liquid all over your mother-in-law’s face, you could be facing more than just a little spill. The Link Mugs interlink together to produce a sturdy line, making the carrying part a whole lot easier and the “accidental” spillage a whole lot harder.

Decaf? Never! When you feel that caffeine high wearing off, there’s only one thing to do. Refill. Grab another cup and repeat the cycle over and over and over. Caffeine’s a hell of a drug.

Can you always use some more caffeine, even if you’ve just finished a large espresso? Have your addiction printed onto a t-shirt for $19.95.

While there’s no mention of Pee Wee in this design project’s description, the resemblance to Herman’s very own breakfast contraption is uncanny.

Directed by designer Yuri Suzuki and artist Masa Kimura, the Breakfast Machine is designed to prepare a full-course meal, serving up omelets, coffee, orange juice and even toast with jam.

Mmm… feel like chugging down a mug of… whatever that warm, brown liquid is? The Toilet Mug takes one of the most popular beverages in the world and makes it one of the least appetizing. Your dog will have a blast.

If for some odd reason you actually want the Toilet Mug you can grab one for around $16. Or you can cut out the middle man and just shove your fingers down your throat. There are much cheaper way to lose your lunch.

If you’re unfortunate enough to have a waitress who is having a bad night, don’t give her any shit. You never know if she’ll do something devastating, like dipping your hamburger bun in her menstruation blood (extra ketchup, sir?) or even (gasp!) bringing you decaf instead of regular.

We can’t help you too much with that first one other than to advise you to bring a barf bag, but as for something as important as your coffee, there are D+Caf strips, which allow you to test your coffee to see if your waitress brought you what you asked for. A set of 20 costs $9.95. So, that’s with two cups a sitting, that’s at least 10 safe sittings.

Many are familiar with this essential pair. What would the morning be without a cigarette and a strong cup of hot joe? Miserable is what it would be. Mixing your love for coffee, carcinogens, and saving the Earth, this Coffee Ashtray is a green alternative to the material of your other ashtrays, made with compressed coffee grounds.

Just as long as you know that no matter what ashtray you use, you’re still going to die, slowly and painfully. Have a great day!

How many universes does a man have to search through to find a decent cup of joe in this joint? These Stargate Coasters provide you with easy access to Gou’ald and Replicator coffee cafes.

It’s just our luck that the best coffee can only be found in enemy alien coffee shops. Warning: there is a clear disclaimer warning that the wormhole is not included. So you’ll have to figure out a way to access one yourself. Sounds easy enough.

Nothing shows your coffee beans who’s boss quite like a power drill made to grind them into oblivion. This modded power tool was created using the burr of a peppermill.

I happen to love a little metallic zest in my brew.

The hustle and bustle of modern times leaves few extra seconds to communicate with the people you live with, most commonly, your family. Thanks to cellphones and e-mail, we can still remain in close contact, but there’s something about seeing the actual handwriting of a loved one that adds a dose of personality into a message.

The Chalk Board Mug allows anyone in your home or work place to write a tiny message in chalk right on your coffee vessel. There are only two downfalls. One, chalk marks left on the writer’s fingers. Two, having to clean a chalk eraser like when you got in trouble in grade school. That sucked so bad.

Earlier, Ryan spotted some DIY speakers made from paper cups and a pair of headphones. Now Arms22 is one-upping designer Dimitry Zagga with speakers made from Starbucks cups. They actually use a power amplifier, meaning they’ll crank your tunes out at a respectable volume. If you want to make your own, go for it, as the instructions are available online. The caveat? They’re in Japanese.
