Just in time for Christmas, footwear and accessories label Jimmy Choo has come up with a faux croc coffee cup sleeve.

The Jimmy Choo coffee cup sleeves come in taupe, snake-skin, dark-brown and black leather.They retail for $165.

Nespresso have just launched three brand spanking new flavors for Christmas: Dark Chocolate, Vanilla Blossom and Cherry.

The illy Art Collection was first started in 1992, stemming from the idea that art can enter the lives of people through a small object of daily use.

After more than 70 series of collectors’ cups were decorated by major international artists and young talents, in 2006 the Collection was extended to coffee cans: exclusive limited-edition works of art released twice a year.

The second decoration this year was created by Alioum Moussa. Moussa is an eclectic and multidisciplinary artist from Cameroon.

International lifestyle brands Nespresso and Shanghai Tang have joined forces for the first time to create the Shanghai Tang for Nespresso Dragon Collection.

This collection brings together Nespresso’s much loved capsule coffees and Shanghai Tang’s contemporary luxury interpretations of Chinese heritage

It has been specially created to celebrate the spirit of coffee inline with the upcoming Lunar Chinese New Year and the auspicious Year of the Dragon.

The Italian coffee brand illy is extending the range of artist cups and saucers with a new limited-edition piece, created by celebrated Bombay-born sculptor Anish Kapoor.

Just like most of his creations, the new illy coffeeware has a metallic touch and is dedicated to blending emptiness/fullness and external/ internal in one piece.

Commissioned by the coffee-maker to do a new take on the classic, Kapoor responded by leaving the exterior untouched but silvering the interior, and adding a hole in the center of the saucer.

Indonesia’s “King of Luwak”, Gunawan Supriadi, is having a hard time keeping up with demand for the beans excreted by his stable of pampered civet “cats”.

And he’s not alone. Demand for coffee brewed with beans plucked from the dung of the furry, weasel-like creatures — known locally as luwaks — is surging among well-healed connoisseurs around the world, exporters say.

About 40 civets at Supriadi’s plantation in West Lampung district, Sumatra, provide the intestinal machinery for his Raja Luwak (King of Luwak) brand of bean. Lampung is the undisputed capital of luwak coffee.
