As some of you may know, I'm a coffee addict and when I went into Starbucks this morning to get my daily, tall, regular coffee, I was suprised to see the new cup my drink was being served in.

Very minimalistic in design (two colors, a dark brown on white), the cup came with a smoother tasting coffee. Perhaps the simplicity of the cup's design represents the back-to-basics taste approach that Starbucks is experimenting with their latest daily brew, the Pike Place Roast.
