Coffee cups are a necessity for any household even if there aren't any inhabitants who enjoy hot beverages and these keyboard coffee cups help add a little bit of a quirky touch.
Boasting a design that looks like a numerical keypad found on a set of keys, the keyboard coffee cups only resemble this computer component when flipped upside down because the symbols are printed on the bottom.
They're fun, a little bit nerdy and would make a great gift because coffee cups are one of the few items in the kitchen you can never have too many of. Having such a large array of them gives an eclectic feel and makes sure no one ever goes without a mug.
