Aahhh! the below pic is the traditional south Indian Coffee cup and saucer, not to mention its my New Love in Kitchen. It exactly holds only five sips of coffee, deliberately brought the cute and tiniest one, so I can enjoy my coffee/tea more than twice a day. This is my best buy of this year. what have you got recently?
