At home, if I use cream in my coffee, I tend to simply pour it right out of the carton and into my mug. A creamer of some kind looks much nicer when guests come over, though, so it's nice to have something on hand to serve milk or cream in. This science lab-inspired creamer set from Crate and Barrel is a fun take on the creamer idea. The three-piece set comes in the approximate shape of an Erlenmeyer flask, but with a small spout added to the upper lip for ease of pouring. The top portion, which is lidded, is used to hold cream and the base can be used for sugar. Sugar cubes (pictured) seem to add to the science theme because their amounts are standardized, but loose sugar can be used as well.
You might want to consider using a set like this one with some caffeine molecule mugs or even a mathematics mug, just to complement the look.
