MUG: Waechstersbach original, caramel colored, Western Germany.
COFFEE: An estate-grown Colombian Supremo, roasted by Barrett's Micro Roasters in Austin (see P.M., good things can come out of that town).
NOTES: For entertainment (and radical taste bud recalibration), I tried two pounds of coffee from a highly regarded local beanery. In return for my adventure, I got stylishly over-roasted coffees, one of which was a blend I allowed myself to get talked into. I suspended my simple rule that almost all coffee blends are an economic compromise (a bit of the good with much more of the not so good) as a way of maximizing profit. As a result, the Rule has been reinforced.
There is much joy in Mudville today. The King is restored.

Who would have thought that taking pictures of coffee mugs would be an interesting blog? But it is interesting and would make a great twitter feed. The shot in this post is particularly artistic. I've got a multitude of ceramic mugs but I'm looking for a new travel mug and have heard nothing but good things about the Nissan like this: http://www.coffeethermos.net
