It's safe to say that everyone who drinks coffee hates it when a drip runs down the side of the cup and leaves a ring on a newspaper/book/table in the morning. Maybe "hate" is too strong of a word, but coffee rings are certainly annoying, especially because they can stain. One company has come up with a solution to unwanted rings by adding stamps to the bottom of the mugs. This way, when the coffee drips down, you can create small patterns on your newspaper. You still won't be able to read it, but it will look a lot prettier than it would with a big, wet ring - not to mention that you can call it "art" instead of an accident. The Stamp Mugs sell in pairs for $59.

The mugs look like they would be easy to tip over. Spill mill, not ring thing?

Fascinating yet expensive. I'm trying to think of how I could make these myself. Maybe with those shower decals stuck to the bottom of my coffee mugs.
