It is interesting that North Americans are often turned off by the wet, dark grinds at the bottom of their cup of coffee, while Europeans cherish the last sip as a treat of concentrated goodness. Creative designer Sunman Kwon has a new, romantic reason for Americans to drink their coffee to the last drop.
A cleverly concealed, symbolic message turns your journey to the bottom of the cup into a journey into the universal language of love. The message of love acts like a slow strip-tease of affection, and is only fully revealed after the entire content has been consumed. The more you sip, the closer you get to the heart.
