I just love B&W stuff and this IMO lent itself to that style of photography. It also has sort of a high key element to it and that is also a favorite of mine. I am also fond of simplicity in photos and I hope this comes through.

Did the coffee grounds intended for the left cup revolt? What's with the debris on the otherwise white background? "Casualties of Coffeehouse Warfare" does make a catchy title though.
My coffee maker at home does this sometimes...... Ok image, needs something to spice it up a little, maybe steam coming out of the cups? meets the challenge......5
like the dirty coffee setting! the white background feels a bit too white to me, though. i would be interested in seeing the shadows played up a bit more to give some additional contrast and visual interest.
This is an interesting idea and a lot of work has gone into it. If the intention of the message is "dirty and used" then your post-production needs to generate that. As it is, the greyscales are smooth and even with no noise. As a result, the message is lost and the image sort of fails to have the impact that is lurking there
