Laboratory Beaker Mug

I received these beaker mugs from a friend last Christmas and I absolutely love them! They are the perfect kitchen companion for any science geek. You can pick up one of these glass beauties from ThinkGeek.com for $9.99.

“If you’re awesome, you know that coffee’s heavenly taste comes from a perfect balance of acids – aliphatic, chlorogenic, and alicyclic carboxylic acids and phenolic acids, and sweet roasted carbohydrates in the form of mono and polysaccharides and sucrose, and alkaloids. Hundreds of different individual chemicals! The combinations of which depend mostly on the roast, skill of the roaster, and even the kind of brewing pot you use.

The bottom line is, your coffee mug is full of chemistry, so why are you sipping your bitter black brew from a simple and boring ceramic mug? Where’s your science, man?”
