Amazing Coffee Cup Art I recently came across a collection of amazing coffee cup art. Cheeming Boey draws on foam coffee cups with a sharpie. I thought this was just too good to not share.

Nothing’s better than brewing your own coffee at home with fresh roasted coffee beans… but sometimes you want to get out of the house, or you’re on the road, or maybe you’re meeting up with a friend and need to find a good, quality coffee house to visit.
