101 Kitschy Coffee Cups

From Camera Lens Mugs to Gamer Coffee Cups

— November 14, 2012 — Art & Design
For most people, coffee or tea is a daily routine, which is why fun coffee cups are so popular. With coffee being the world's second most traded commodity (after oil) and tea the world's second most consumed beverage (after water), it's easy to figure out why fun coffee cups produce so many unique varieties.

The creativity infused into coffee cups is astonishing. There are heat-holding mugs, customizable mugs, brass knuckle mugs, pop culture mugs, designer mugs and more. The demand for fun coffee cups is as sure a bet as the sun rising in the east, which is why manufacturers and innovators are constantly looking for new ways to add their own touch.
