I have measured out my life with coffee spoons. ~T.S. Eliot

Coffee mugs on show in The Cube at The Clay Museum, Rust-en-Vrede

'Over second and third cups flow matters of high finance, high state, common gossip and low comedy. Coffee is a social binder, a warmer of tongues, a soberer of minds, a stimulant of wit, a foiler of sleep if you want it so. From roadside mugs to the classic demi-tasse, it is the perfect democrat. ' ~Author Unknown
